Re: External Device Blew USB Bus??
The probes I have are too thick. Having hubby bring home some smaller ones, and I'll try it then. Appreciate the help!!

Re: External Device Blew USB Bus??
I will have to check that. To be perfectly frank, I cannot figure how to check the voltage on a USB port! I've tried all sorts of ways, but don't get any coherent readings. Clue me in - how do you set the probes for a USB port??Leave a comment:

Re: External Device Blew USB Bus??
The company that sold the Bluetooth keyboard claim that it is not possible for it to have blown the bus. All I know is that I plugged it into the hub first - it just needed charging. The hub started flashing and then just died. Stupid me, I plugged it into a direct USB port. Nothing. The hub, the port the hub was plugged into and the second port no longer work at all.
Any ideas or suggestions??? I cannot afford a new laptop at this time.Leave a comment:

External Device Blew USB Bus??
Plugged in a Bluetooth keyboard to charge up, since it didn't come with an AC adapter. I think the flippin' thing blew my USB bus, since my ports no longer work. I KNOW it blew my USB 3.0 hub, because it no longer works at ALL.
I thought you couldn't blow the bus with an external device?? -

Re: Laptop Internal USB ( webcam ) troubleshooting
OK, as a newbie, I cannot START a thread. So. I have an HP Pavilion laptop. Plugged in an external device that (unknown to me) was bad. It SEEMS to have blown my USB ports, definitely blew my USB 3.0 hub. I was told it is impossible for an external device to blow the USB bus. If that is so, why won't my ports and/or hub work??Leave a comment:
