    A-open XC-cube usb device not recognized.

    My HTPC has started saying that when i put any usb in, it says it when i try my phone or a usb flash drive, but weirdly the usb receiver for the wireless mouse works fine?

    I noticed a while ago that my usb powered external hdd would make weird noises like it was under powered so i had to use a Y splitter to feed it power from 2 usb slots.

    Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    Its a A-open xc-cube EZ661

    Happens on the front and back usb ports.

        Thats what I was thinking, some kind of 'overload'.

        Is it possible that you might have zapped the USB port? :/

        If there are bad caps in the PSU, then you should list them here, for other web-browsing computer-fixing folks in the future

        I haven't seen many issues with badcaps in slim desktops yet on the web.

          Turned out to be the xp installation, switched hdd priority and booted into win 7 and it works fine.

            Greetings everyone.
            please, help assist me with the above PC problem.

            The boars number is 6050A2559101-MB-A03. The PC does not recognized HDD, neither does it recognized NGFF SSD.

            i discovered that the HDD does not spin.
            there were activities at the SATA connection.

            Pin 2,3,5,6 rises to 400mv then jump to about 4v, again to mv. It continues in loop that way. Same behaviour at pin 20,21,22.

            5v is present at 14,15,16.

            Pin 18 which is reserved has about 1.8v, sometimes it increases to 2v+.

            Samsung UN39EH5003FXZA won't stay powered off
            by Hannibal_Hector
            Hello,

            Purchased a broken Samsung UN39EH5003FXZA (Version CD01) to have fun fixing. When I first acquired it, I did not connect any video signals and only plugged it into the wall. The unit booted and showed the β€œno signal” window and I could navigate all menus and change sources. I unplugged it, connected my over-the-air antenna to the coax, powered it on, got the unit to scan the HDTV channels, and I think then the TV self-shutdown with the melody. When I powered back up (melody), it would show the channel selected on the OSD and after a couple of seconds, it self-shutdown...

            RX 6700 XT PowerColor not recognized in any OS
            by martimarti
            Hello,

            The title explains the issue. The additional information is:

            - GPU was never disassembled
            - not recognized in Windows/Linux, not even with error, totally not recognized like it's not plugged in
            - GPU fans don't spin but work. When I turn on the system, the fans twitch for that second when I press the power button. Same thing happens when I power off the system.
            - GPU does not get hot no matter for how long I let it run even though not recognized

            What I have to done so far:
            - played with the BIOS switch without any luck. OC/SILENT...

            iPad 5th gen (A1823) - No charge but recognized by finder
            by Carl0s-
            Hi,

            Sooo - our IT got a pile of old iPads that the sales guys have been mistreating. These are free for grabs if you want to try to get one working. Thought I'd give it a try - if I get at least some life to I can give to my kid to entertain during a car rides.

            But the iPad it self - its a 5th gen cellular model. When I initially plug it in it was completely dead. It was not recognized by my Mac nor it started to charge. Disassembled it opened up the battery connector and checked the battery voltage. My multimeter showed 0,7v. Had a spare micro-usb charging board lying...

            A1990 820-01814A U1200 very hot when powered up, USB drawing > 4A
            by abajor
            I have this machine. It powers up and gets fan spin, will even shut down when I hold the power button.
            U1200 gets very hot under thermal camera, the next hottest region is UB000 and L7030. I'm assuming L7030 is warm due to charging.

            Do I have a potential dead CPU? or just a dead U1200? Not sure what to check since everything is powered up.
