Does it have a "Backfeed" problem? ie, when using its own power adapter, it feeds power back into the computer.

It does have back feed. I can turn on my computer without pressing the on button by unplugging and replugging the power adapter on this hub.

Hi, I haven't had that issue, but then I'm not sure if I would know if I did. All I can say is that I've no no issues with this hub.

Yes dave I've always used the power adapter. I've never tried it without. Sits on my desktop plugged into my battery backup.

Actually, no. And ours totally failed within a couple of months of casual use. The company sent another power supply but that was not the issue and we just gave up on it

I guess I am the odd man out in this one. I love mine. Works good. Are you sure you got a good charge? When the unit is charging you get a visual indication on the screen that it is being charged. If you do not then maybe the connection to your power source is not seeded correctly. I plug mine into a usb port on my windows7 desktop, it recognizes it and starts charging right away.

Have not had that problem at all. Laptop is working great. Sorry about your troubles.

I do not recall if we've tried that.. but would guess it does since it needs to keep a lot of config stuff saved - particularly if you get the WIFI dongle thingie..Actually, now that I think about it, I think we've had some power failures since we installed ours and I don't recall having to do anything after the power came back.. Perhaps someone else can chime in too to ensure I'm not wrong..

Yes, i have a 500+ power supply inside this puppy as we speak. It was extremely tricky and seemed impossible for me to get my power supply in so i like ziptied it and that caused it to bluescreen, you need to make sure you get it in correctly and screw it in properly, though i didnt know how until i had a repair guy check it out.

My power supply is similar and I have been using it for about a year now with no issues. I also use dual monitors. I'd at least try it out.

I didn't have any problems with the power cord that came with it. Didn't even realize there was a problem. Sorry, not help help.

I've had two since purchased and I've never had any issues. Can imagine that's a monitor specific issue rather than a power issue, I'd say internal components are more likely to fail first over external if for some reason you are really stressing the PSU.

I have received the same problem with this battery. I suspect there may be something wrong with the charge regulating circuitry within the battery itself. The laptop should still work with the power cable plugged in.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

I have not had problems with the power source. However the cursor is a nightmare and has made this beautiful computer all but unusable. I think that the issue is with an all too sensitive trackpad, but I cannot seem to figure out a way to turn it off.

I have several I have used with it but all are powered. the only devices I have used that draw their power from the ports are memory sticks and they have worked without issues.

It could be defective, however with no information as to how it is connected, that would be impossible for me to determine. Try connecting the device to a different usb port on the computer. I have mine first connected to a "powered" usb hub and from there to a port on the back of my PC. That way batteries are charged regardless if the PC is on or not. In most cases if the device is plugged directly into the PC, power to the device is also turned off and not charging the battery when the PC is off. Hope this helps.......

That's happened to me on occasion, but it usually reconnects on its own. I find that it does the disconnect thing more often when it's getting closer to time to charge it. I think may be some power saver feature.

I am in agreement with Thomas. I have been fortunate I guess, mine comes on every time. I would verify your power connection and cable to ensure it is not faulty. The power input is just a mini-usb which can be an easy and cheap replacement.
