My USB ports on the computer quit working and am wondering what this plugs into. Will it work with the weaker USB port on the back of the computer?

You have to have a usable USB port in order to utilize this hub. It could work with a "weak" USB port, but it may not support too many devices.

It needs to plug into a fully functional USB 2.0 or 3.0 port. If you're having problems with the port on the PC then plugging this device into the problem port probably won't work to well.

Kacee, it should work on any USB 2.0 port on your computer. Check to make sure the pins on the plug are aligned and straight before you plug it in. Also if you know how to check devices on your computer, you might want to do that after you plug it in to make sure your USB drivers are working.

Of all the USB hubs I have purchased this is my favorite. I have never heard that the ports in the back are weaker. I had more ports installed on the back of one of my computers. My printer, mouse USB hub, scanner and keyboard are plugged into the back of the computer. I do not know how your computer is configured or what OS you are using, but if the computer recognizes the ports in back I would thank my lucky stars. If not it is in the settings or OS. Good luck, Chuck

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.

If its a standard USB port it should work just fine but always check with supplier as well this they know the specs of compatabilty best. I had a slight problem with them ( I received what looked like it was a return and was missing parts, just my guess) but they were very professional. Addressed all my inquiries and fixed problem rite away with out any other issuers. I would def use them again.. The product is very good for the items you receive as well as the price.

That is what I have as well. It worked fine with that. I am not sure what happened, I can only say I followed the directions, and after I tried it, nothing plugged into my USB ports worked, only the valet. Sorry I'm no real help.

is the usb port running off a hub or directly to the computer? needs to connect directly to the computer

It has a second plug requiring a second USB port. However, I have used it with only one (because I was using an extension wire) and noticed no difference. So if your computer has only one port, i would give it a try anyhow.

I am not familiar with your equipment, but from what you have described it should work just fine. One end is a "regular" USB end, the other end is a micro USB, NOT a micro USB end. I hope I've helped.r

It should act just as any other powered USB hub. Just make sure you have proper power supplied.

This one works great with all USB ports. I'm thinking of getting another. Good luck to you.

Have you tried using it on another computer? Or perhaps a different USB port? Is your computer fully updated? Do any other USB devices work when plugged into the same port? If all else fails, it may have a defect and you will need to exchange or return it.

This will work on any powered USB port, in other words any USB port on any computer made in the past 12 years or longer. It can be Windows, Mac, Unix, new old, it just won't matter. It will also work with powered USB hubs (any hub that requires an external power connection), USB power adapters/iPod chargers/Cell phone chargers that plug into the wall or into the lighter socket in a car. In other words, add on a $2 adapter, and it would make a nifty night light or automotive map light.

I'm not sure what to tell you. Mine has been working great since I've received it. I would recommend this product to anyone. Have you tried a different USB port? Try asking for a replacement, the price is just too good.

I've used it in my USB 2.0 port on my older HP. It seems to work just fine in an older port.

Yes, but not for long. Mine is now scrapped because of the failed USB port and I tried everything to fix it...

Yes the rear USB port works alot better than the one on the front. If it still doesn't want to read your USB than you might want to buy a different one. I've had that happen to me before.

I have this model and the only usb ports other than the main USB-B to the computer are all output usb hub ports. I don't believe usb-in is available.
