I bought this little toy and put a USB drive into the USB slot. It worked the first time, but then refused to work again. Other functions are OK, Why?

It's not a terribly expensive unit the USB interface may have failed. Have you tried a different thumb drive in it? Does the sdhc card slot work? My experience with inexpensive electronics is that they fail right away or they work for a long time. You may have gotten a bad one. It could also be your thumb drive.

good question. mine cuts out with one usb drive but works fine with another. My toy won't work at all unless it is plugged in to power which defeats the portability aspect. :(

Your question is not clear! From what I understand, the other functions of this unit WORK; but the USB alone is not OK, correct??/ If that is the case, you will have to try attaching another device in the USB slot and see if it works and much the same way, try the device on some other port on another connection in the computer and see if it works!! I do not think there is a categorical answer to your question!!!

Doesn't seem to be a quality product. I was lucky to get over a month of use out of it before it stopped working. :(

I was having some "issues" with mine, nothing serious. Just occasionally disconnecting and then reconnecting. Checked which USB I had mine in, and it was in my USB1. Changed it to a 2.0; and haven't had a problem since then. So, in my experience, it worked with USB1; but was a little "funky" from time to time.

Mine died (the USB) and I sent it back for replacement. No problems since. That has been 6 months ago. I think they had some issues that may have been corrected.

Andrew ... same problem I had, along with many others. This product sucks. The USB port should work, but I don't think there really is much you can do about the other devices. Better to spend the money for a new one while you are in France than burn up your appliances.

Check to see if you are inserting the card in the correct slot. Make sure you are using a working USB port. Try inserting an external hard drive in the same slot and see if it boots up. Also make sure you have current USB 3.0 drivers installed. Check your card with another computer or a card reader you know works. If you have the card in the correct slot, have the cable in a working USB port, have the current drivers and can't access your card, but the card works with another reader then it's possible you have a defective unit.

Haven't had a problem with any of the other USB slots, I have plugged 3 maximum USB points into it, maybe there is a defect, should request a new one.

It worked for me, actually replaced two drives. If I remember correctly, however, the first time it didn't work for the GC game. I think I turned the Wii off and back on again a few minutes later and it worked fine. I may have disconnected and reconnected the drive and it worked but pretty sure it was just a power-cycle of the Wii.

I had a problem with the first USB, but the other one did fit. Not sure if the first one dad a defect

Sometimes the connection on the back usb port has trouble. I had that too. My solution was to plug it into one of the usb ports on the front. They work better for some reason.

I have had my radio for over a year now. I had problems the first time I tried to play music from a USB flash drive. I tried another drive and it worked fine. I have no idea why the first one didn't work but formatted the second one and it worker perfectly.

When i plugged in mine it the device regognised it without a problem. If you are having a problem maybe you can try another type of flash memory. (Kingston) Unfortunately i could never connect my phone's memory through usb

I am NOT an expert. I don't think there are any parts in the adapter that can wear out. It looks to be just electrical connections. So you seem to have either a bad connection or a bad drive. I'm sure you've tried reconnecting and jiggling wires and using different USB ports. If none of that works, my best guess is your drive went bad. I wish I had more profound advice for you. Can you test the adapter with another drive to help isloate the problem? If the adapter works with another drive, then I would say your original drive is bad. Bad drives are way beyond what I can deal with.

Some issue with getting it recognized as a proper USB device. After some restarts and reinstalling, it worked and the utility found the device.

At first this usb device didn't work on my HP laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. No driver could be found. Then I unplugged it and plugged it back in again and it worked fine.

My problem wasn't the power. It worked fine. My problem is that the USB3 Main input broke off inside the unit when I p=tried to attach the USB Cable and now the unit is useless. So I'm screwed. Paid $56 a couple of months ago for a useless unit.'

mine works fine, although i have to unplug and replug into my usb port every so often but it is small and compact. not bad for the price.
