I found that I did have trouble if i tried to plug into an external USB extension and had to go directly into the computer - but it sounds like you already did that so I'm not sure. Did you try to just bring up a Windows explorer session and see if there is new drive listed?

when I plugged mine in it just started working. It just used the Microsoft driver. I have Windows 7

I plugged mine in and did get a light, but the drive was never recognized by my computer. I suspect the problem is the disk drive.

When you plug something into it and it does not work try resetting it. If that does not work try replacing it.

That was the same issue I seem to have. Nothing worked when I plugged in to it.

Hi Deborah, I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have. Hope this helps. Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

Well...it could be your battery. Try using the plug after removing the battery from it and if the laptop comes on, its definitely your battery!!

That's weird, my mouse worked right when I plugged it in. Make sure its on (switch on the bottom), plugged in (wireless USB reciever), and the light on your mouse is on. If all of those are working, then I have no idea.

Turn it on , Use the cable sent within the box , plug the USB to your computer and the other end into the line in/5v slot .This worked for me ,

I must be plugged into your laptop and your laptop must be on to work. If you tried that then it may be a faulty one and your may have to send it back for a new one.

You need to check the power cable and the plug into the laptop. I am in Australia and it did not have an Australian electric plug and the plug into the laptop was the wrong size

It doesn't work well with my laptop, it seen like something is missing and I don't know what.

I think that is probably because you may have not installed the software first. Windows needs a driver for that device. Once the driver (software code) is installed, plugging in that software will allow windows to discover the plugged-in device and configure it for use.

I assume it worked at some point (adapter) as you said: tested it twice. Mine worked fine when I made the adaptation. There is a lot of connection pens to mate up. Make sure one of them did not get bent and all connections are tight. Sounds as though it could be your home computer as well. Change out different connecting cables again, if it does not work then I am betting it is your computer.
