How does the device receive power?

Looking at the thing right now. Has an adapter that must be plugged into the wall. It is a divided adapter, meaning it is a power plug then 5 feet of cord then a small adapter and then about 3 feet of cord with a power piece to plug into the drive. Just be warned that this device only lasted me a few years before the drive started to fail.

Through usb and then never connects to device. This is a piece of junk. I never got it working on multiple machines. It lights up and the disk spins if your into that.

I don't believe it does. It only delivers power when something is plugged into one of the ports.

Yes, there is a USB port on the device which will supply ample power to usb devices. I am using the 12 volt output to power a small Amateur Radio. (Approximately 2amps through the 12v output) The 5v USB out should handle everything, even tablets.

I can't directly answer your question but I can tell you that it is equipped with a mini USB connector, both for charging the device and for connection to a device to be powered by it.

It is normal, it's just telling you its receiving power. Mine does it too and nothing has gone wrong.

Although the user manual does not say that it needs a power source, it came with a USB cable. I was not sure why, later I noticed that the device has a mini USB port on the side. I had it connect to my Cable box that has a USB port. The device did not work properly (it kept flickering) without using USB cable. It works perfectly now.

there is a voltage converter you simply plug in. That part of the is wired.

It pulls power from the 30 pin dock you hook it up to, then stores it in its internal battery. The unit comes with a 30 pin - USB cable, (an idevice cable) that you can use to plug into a USB port and charge it that way.

no power draw that i'm aware of, the unit is activated when triggered by an outside source.

It will power and/or charge the device(s) attached to it. Great backup power device.

The power comes from the device(s) hdmi cord(s), there is a power supply plug available on the splitter, but it is unnecessary, so they do not send one, this device just works it's wonderful!

It plugs into the USB port of any computer. There is no further power required.

Hi. With this device, you do not need any external power. The device brings it all included and takes what it needs directly from their computer. It works excellently. Regards. Vincent.

Yes, but there's a bit of a trick to get it to work. You have to turn the device on, establish the access point, and have your devices connect to it BEFORE plugging in the power.

The device is not a battery. It converts 12 volt DC to AC current. It connects to a deep cycle battery provides a limited amount of backup power.
