The USB port fails to detect an external hard drive.
The USB port fails to detect an external hard drive.
Hello!
I’m wondering why my front USB ports sometimes fail to detect devices that need more power, like an external HDD. All drivers seem current, the rear ports work fine, and on my laptop the HDD is recognized. In Power Management I unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." The BIOS and AMD chipset drivers are up to date. What else can be done?
Thanks!
from the three usb connections on my computer, just one provides power, the other two are passive
