My amp has power outlets on the back, so I plugged the fan power to it. So every time I turn my amp on and off, the fan also turns on and off

It comes with a 110 volt plug. If you have a switched outlet, it plugs right in and can then be controlled by the switched outlet.

Get a smart power strip. Plug the item you want cooled into the control (sensed) outlet. Plug the fan adapter into one of the controlled outlets. These come one when power flow is sensed.

There is a little button in the front of the unit, you press the button. You must connect (power and the USB Cables to it in order for it to work. I hope this information helps.

My usb ports provide power even when the computer is off, so I have to hit the button on the keyboard to turn off the lights manually.

There is an on/off power switch but you can easily leave the switch to 'on' and utilize the USB cord as a power cord, so that when you plug it into your computer it will automatically kick on.

I use it on windows 7 and it auto detect (no additional software). The light should be on once you plug it into the usb.

Hi. I tried this but it only works for a few minutes, then I unplug, plug, works, then stops, etc. Have you found a solution to this? Someone said clean it but didn't tell me how...

Most likely has to do with settings for USB inside Advanced Power Settings that you can change starting inside Control Panel--Power Settings--Advanced Power Settings

It should turn on as soon as you plug in the USB. If it's not, the USB port might not be getting power for some reason, or it's just broken, like mine is. And honestly, it works almost as well without the fan.

I had the same issue until I realized the unit had to be plugged into a power source via the USB in order to work. Mine has worked great ever since. Have you tried that?

Make sure you have the proper input selected, usb/eSata, otherwise if it detects no input it will shut down automatically within 10 seconds

windows 7 should automatically recognize it. if it doesn't then the usb port might need to be enabled or is not working properly
