[QUOTE="wallie95, post: 1786536, member: 398445"] I have been away from home for about a month, without a charging block, so I have been charging my phone through USB. I recently tried plugging my MIDI keyboard into my laptop and received the 'USB devices disabled' notification. So far I have tried 2 things: leaving the computer off and disconnected from power overnight, and an SMC reset. No luck with either. However, I plugged in my audio interface into the USB port and it draws power just fine. I am wondering if a potential way around the keyboard problem would be to buy a keyboard that draws power from an AC adapter, instead of phantom, and only runs the MIDI information through USB. I don't want to spend the money on a new keyboard without being fairly confident it could work. Although if fixing whatever hardware is responsible for the issue would be cheaper than buying a new keyboard, I would rather do that. Thoughts/advice? [/QUOTE]
