USB Problem

Post by TSUCookieMonster »

The whole Mac/PC thing has reminded me of my current computer issue:

When I plug in my USB cord for my MP3 player (which I have been using for a few years with NO problems), I get an error message about a power surge occurring. (My MP3 player runs on a 1 GB memory card, the really skinny small ones)

I've researched for hours about how to fix this. All I can get is to buy a powered USB cord. I thought, well okay. Since my memory card is removable (since my MP3 doubles as a storage device), I bought a mass storage USB connector to try to put my files on the memory card THAT way before I try the powered USB.

No such luck. I got the SAME problem. Oddly enough, the USB port will run everything BUT memory cards. (mouse, keyboard, flash drives). So I tried the other USB ports and they are all giving me the same problem with my damn MP3 and the new device I purchased.

All my USB ports are functioning correctly. I could understand the MP3 cord being old/broken, but the fact that the NEW item I bought won't work is a brain buster to me. My USB's are all current.

Did you buy it recently? Could try taking it back. My old player was a Phillips that Best Buy replaced like 7 times (piece of scheit just a little), before discontinuing it and giving me an Ipod for less credit than the Phillips was worth.
