With the Voyager box hooked up I have both the Black and Blue connections on the 7 way plug are hot--is this right?

Jerry, The blue wire from the control to the trailer plug is the feed to the brakes on the trailer coming from the brake control unit. It supplies power to the brakes. If your tow vehicle came wired from the factory (or a dealer), you will have a hot wire going from the tow vehicle to the trailer seven pin plug for auxiliary power to a trailer independent of the brake controller, for example to run an RV's interior lights, water pump, etc. I am not sure if that wire is black but that would make sense since black generally means hot feed. Short answer, Yes you are correct.

There are two tabs to push to unplug. If you don't push them you can ruin the connection plug.

I have plugged in all time, using it for photo editing in Lightroom and Photoshop then backing up to another external. No over heating issues, it does get "warm" if stacked directly on another plugged in drive so stopped doing that. I like the drive, haven't had any issues with it.

I still have my Original one (More than 3 years old...) and the plug connection (USB) still works fine for me. The reason I bought a second one is that when the ambient temperature is cool,... the fans (Probably the Bearings...) often make excessive noise untill it runs for a while. So for me,.. the USB connection has NOT been an issue. Hope this may help.

The black will most always be negative. The other colors are sense, speed control & 12 vdc, but not sure witch color is representative of which. But if you use there complete plug assortment that will fit most any MB plug everything is connected properly

I too just had this start up this past week. I've had to jiggle and reinsert the plug to see if the connection will take. My laptop is only a couple months old, so I'll be calling to see what my options are for fix or repair.

I don't have an answer for you. My guess is your unit is "fried". I had two friends who had surge protector power strips, not Sidesocket, catch fire. I'm glad they were home!

The blue wire is the hot and the black wire is the ground. Not sure which one of yours is hot and which one is ground. You can test them to see.

I found that plugging the unit into a power strip on the same outlet as the cable box was a problem. A different electrical outlet solved the issue.

I notice zero AC hum or any whine. I would use this again. I will pass on stay clear of tranmittion over AC wiring S/R units---I think Black Box was the one I used. It has a delay and gets hot.good luck

You should just need to change the two wires, it sounds like wired backwards. On my set, the wire colors were different between the right and left housings, the ground wire is the same color on both housings.

No. Not at all. I use it at work and I'm using all 4 ports with no problems.

If you have the black wires attached to the gold screws and 2 are attached to the silver screws you are fine. the black and white wires from the power supply side need to be attached to the line side of the new outlet. (it should say this on the back of the new outlet) and the other 2 are to be attached to the Load side of the outlet. Remember that the black go to gold side and the white go to the silver side do not cross them.

I'd have to agree with nazar. Something isn't plugged in all the way. Or improperly. Double check all your connections.

I can use my 255W while charging via wall plug, so the issue you describe is not "normal". I'll get a dark screen that states the "maps are loading", the maps load, and the I can use the unit within 30 seconds. Sometimes the unit is delayed launching maps while it looks for a satellite signal. Have you tried charging the unit in an area with a clear southern view?

check your cables, try to isolate the source by switching them out. i find a power conditioner works a lot better than a multi-plug. if you can't find it, i would consider return them for replacement.good luck
