A USB connected device damage my logic board?

My iMac (Intel Core i7 3.4 GHz - OS X 10.9.5) recently started to shut down, requiring a reset of the SCM in order to back to the top.

The logic board has been replaced, but less than a week he started to happen again. A connected USB device could be the cause of the problem?

Hello

It depends on. USB 3.0 and 3.1 standard are limited to 5 volts with a draw limited current 1.5 amps, but are made to withstand 5. If there is a soft short-circuit or death in the terrestrial component then yes it could damage the system board or at least safe where to put it down to avoid damage to himself if it detects the voltage on the common ground or DC. I wouldn't use any device you have plugged into it or it will continue to occur and could potentially cause more damage than just the logical card. It could cause data corrupted on your hard drive or other components.

  • None of my USB connected devices appear in iTunes (12.4.0.119) on a MBP. Someone else?

    I just wanted to save both my iPhone and my iPod Touch to my Macbook Pro. When I plug them in do they not appear anywhere (but they charge through the USB cable). If I go into file > devices, all the options are greyed out. I experimented with different USB cables as well. It looks like all my devices are up-to-date. Any suggestions? I was able to do this in the past without problem.

    Hi Friskies,

    My 2009 Mac Mini started feeling the same exact behavior.

    I tried all the usual, including diagnostics

    -swap the USB / lightning cable

    -try the new cable into another USB port

    -J' tried 3 different - now 4 different iPad / iPhone devices, all currently running IOS 9.3.2 (iPhone 5, iPad Mini, iPhone 5 s), 7.1.2 IOS (iPhone 4), latest version as of today.

    -The Mac running OS x 10.11.5 - latest version as of today

    -J' deleted the contents of the/var/db/lockdown folder

    -J' I have reset the privacy settings and place on each device (settings-> general-> reset-> reset card and privacy)

    -J' rebooted IOS devices

    -J' killed all other processes running on the MAC including Chrome - about to restart

    -Applications Photos always starts and wants to synchronize new photos from any connected device

    -Whenever I connect a device iTunes recognizes the device and asks me to trust to the device and the device, I get a pop-up asking me to trust the computer, but I can't select the device in the iTunes window.  QED iTunes does not recognize any IOS device connected to the Mac.

    -My next plan of action is a reboot, then download a new copy of iTunes from apple.com/downloads, delete iTunes and re - install.

    Murphy's law strikes.

    As I'm typing this post, I've killed the iTunes process and reconnected my iPhone 5.  iTunes starts, I get messages of confidence which I accept, and lo & here's the iPhone 4 starts synchronization. I can see now each device connected to the Mac.

    So, in summary, the post is a list of my actions and all the tips that I cleaned of all about Internet forums when I google the topic.

    Hope you this help and anyone else who has a similar problem.

  • My iPhone logic board 6 is damaged. Can it be fixed?

    I never gave up my phone and the other day while u the screen started flashing and then it went black. The phone was on, messages and calls have been received, but the screen was black. Taken for repair and they told me the logic board is damaged and cannot be repaired. What can I do?

    Where did you get "fixed"? An Apple Store is committed to exchange your payphone but not if she was 'repaired' by a non authorized workshop.

  • USB connection for USB device failed

    Hello

    I have VMware Workstation 7.2 in Win 7 x 64 OS later.

    I want to use the USB-to-Serial Connector but my host OS cannot recognize the driver. This connector works with Win XP, so I don't think that there is a hardware failure.

    Then I tried running XP machine in VMware workstation, but when I map this USB on XP VM with message

    USB to USB Device "Composite Device" connection failed - driver error.

    Do I need to have a good driver on host to the USB VM card operating system? or the device! mark in the Device Manager in the host OS cannot be mapped to VM? or the USB device must be properly recognized by host operating system, as the device is suitable for USB Serial device not Composite?

    Any solution?

    Thank you

    It is a known problem in workstation 7

    in some cases this can be corrected - in most cases it cannot

    recommended workaround: use Workstation 6.5.5

  • Install HP Officejet 5740 & USB connection problems

    I recently bought a HP all-in-one OfficeJet 5740 printer for my desktop Dell XPS 8700-(Windows 8.1) and attempted to install, using the USB connection option. I was informed by the instructions of configuration to go online to a Dell website for the latest version of the installation software to download if I had access to the internet. I have DL'ed software and it apparently installed OK-(aucune erreur ou quoi que ce soit pour indiquer qu'il n'a pas abouti). Once finished with the installation of the software, I got to the window option connection-(wireless, usb cable ethernet cable). I chose the option of usb cable, however after having to then connect the USB cable to the printer and the computer via the usb cable, it tries to connect, but alerted me, stating; "Failed connection to printer, printer was not able to connect successfully via the usb cable. I tried this several times-(par moi-même et remote assist avec Support ordinateur Dell). I had the same problem last week when he tried with my old HP Officejet 6100, which I wanted to replace. I ran the program of doctor printing/scanning HP on the 5740 and it lists the printer and the software installed, however the HP printer install lists assistant the complete software package for the printer is not installed and some basic features drivers may be missing or damaged. Also when I go into Control Panel, then devices/printers, it displays the icon of 5740, however after rt - by clicking on the printer icon, instead of the regular menu that comes up to the top-(showing the complete properties, select this printer as the default printer, etc.), it displays a menu of smaller selections very-little (who don't understand not the "select as default printer"). I tried downloading the printer software two ways-(via the HP website on line 1, and then click the installation CD supplied with the printer, the same results. The printer was purchased 11/15/2014 and seems works very well-(tirages test-page, page d'alignement, etc.), but I can't print anything, and apparently it can not connect via the USB-(* j'ai acheté un nouveau câble usb 2.0 hier et, utilisé pour écarter la possibilité d'avoir un mauvais câble). My Dell computer is only 10 months old, and I upgraded to 8.1 Windows back on 25 October.  The USB ports on the computer all seem to work properly when connected to another USB device other than the 5740 printer.  What is the software apparently is not fully installed, with some missing drivers or, possibly, USB drivers should be updated? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!

    Thanks for responding, but I was able to get the printer installed with the help of diagnostic, remotely in line with my computer manufacturer support staff. He was determined to be a software problem because of a recent update of Windows 8.1. Thanks for the effort!

  • No sound - no indication no connected device

    I have scoured many forums and I get the same answers and no help.

    I plugged my speakers dell via the usb connection or the audio output jack.
    then I went to the control panel and sound and audio devices and he says there is no device connected.
    so I thought that it must be a pilot so I went to the Device Manager and I have only with? "s which are: ethernet controller multimedia audio controller."
    When I tried to reinstall the multimedia audio (because it sounds more logical) he says that he can't do because the the "Wizard could not find the necessary software."
    so not my problem isn't human error as I put it on mute or plugged in the wrong slots. the sound that the computer is not even recognizing that there are speakers connected...
    Help, please...

    The USB connection is tonly used to power to the speakers, I guess.

    Re-install your audio drivers should do the trick.

    Do not use the MS Update service, go to the website of the manufacturer of the PC/laptop to its page for assistance and using the name and reference number of your PC to download the latest audio drivers XP for your machine.

    Install then restart and you should have sound. If this isn't the case, re-post giving details of your device.

    BTW, you should also to back up your Ethernet drivers.

    See you soon,.

  • MacBook Pro 13,3 "retina Logic Board failure?

    I bought my MacBook Pro 13,3 "Retina display nine in early 2014 before going to College.  This is the most expensive item that I have ever owned I always made sure to take the greatest care in the use and handling.  About a week ago, I went to turn it on and a prohibitive symbol appeared on the screen (a white circle with a slash) and after that, it was completely cut off.  I took it to a (MicroCenter) renamed repair store and they said it was a failure of the logic board and would cost nearly $700 to fix.  Everyone knows this Council logical fault problem?

    I am extremely disappointed by Apple because I thought of them as the cream of the cream with advanced technology "State-of-the-art".  I expect this device to last until the end of my academic career to a minimum and the fact that it's broken in less than two years is absolutely unacceptable. I did some googling and I saw a trial about the logic board failures in 15 '' MacBook Apple of 2011-13 and had published a complementary repair program.  I hope they do the same with my case.

    Again, someone else has their logic board fail randomly?

    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to Apple Support communities

    Sorry to hear that. I suggest you take a look at the forums of MacBook Pro to find cases similar to yours and check if there is a systemic problem or if you just had bad luck. Obviously it will not be a legal action if this problem is reduced to a few users, but there's a chance if this is stated as a failure of the design.

    About your problem, it looks more like a problem of flash storage rather than a failure of the logic board, but retina MacBooks Pro have most of their parts soldered to the logic board, so, any repair is quite expensive. Finally, if you live in a European country, remember that your Mac has got a 2-year statutory warranty, then you may qualify for a free repair.

  • How can I erase an imac with a bad logic board?

    I have an end-08, 24 "iMac with a bad logic board. I have since bought an end - 15, 27 ", 5K and was able to move everything via a Time Machine backup (thank God for that!). I'm getting rid of the 24 "but whatever way I do I first have to wipe it and the logic board bad converts this problem.

    Although I'm not quite sure what the logic board, symptoms and a local Mac store confirmed that it's the highest probability. It will start and sometimes there and the past, the login screen, but the screen is always 'glitch', vertical lines appear and it freezes before it gets never entirely recorded in. Is that what I can do to wipe disk data without disassembling the whole and the withdrawal / degaussing HD?

    Open to ideas/suggestions...

    Use the target disk Mode. Connect the Mac with a firewire port, love at first sight or a cable Ethernet follow the steps here, except that you use the disc mode target to make the hard drive on your act of target as a connected drive. Then use disk to erase utility.

    It is not easy to get this information here. I m afraid person here can help you with these specific things.
    Problem is also to get these components materials as separate pieces. In my opinion, you should try to buy some mainboard at low prices for this model of laptop with perhaps damage of CPU and try to make it work again.

    What you can also try is to contact Toshiba service in your country and ask for help.

  • USB connection does not work on my computer for hdr-cx260v

    It is a question (especially) on and off (sometimes). I have worked with Sony and have sometimes succeeded. With the help of the 'extra' 16 GB card works to connect and load. My problem is when I use the video stored in the internal memory and using the usb connection. If/when I ever actually loading the data from the internal memory (I have actually already loaded most, but not the most recent), I intend in the future to use only the memory card "exernal. My most recent appeal of Sony said I have no help since the camery is 2 years and more - they send me an e-mail to a site that gives instructions, but the instructions don't seem to solve my problem. I don't seem to have any connection problem "devices" of my USB ports.

    When I connect the camcorder usb to my desktop (using different connections of USB drive) pc, my computer does not recognize the fittings of the. When I use another card memory USB for same usb connections, the computer recognizes the drive. There have been a few times when the camcorder has acknowledged the connection of the camcorder (most recently on June 12) - but this does not occur at thie time. If I take the memory card 16 GB additional of the camcorder and connect it to the connection of memory card, the computer has always recognized it.

    My problem is trying to get the video from the cameras internal memory via the USB connection.

    I think if/when can I get these loaded files, I have the intention of is no longer using the internal memory of the camera and always use the extra memory card.

    I realize that if I could have the laptop recognizes the usb connection, I could manually copy video files myself, even if I think THAT TDC would have also worked in this case.

    Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

    Need a few details.

    What tablet you are asking about?

    What OS is on your PC?

    Tried another cable?

    Usual suggestion is to unplug the devices and reboot the computer and tablet.  Check the settings of the tablet in storage/settings / < icon options, top right - looks like 3 blocks stacked vertically > / USB connection to the computer.

    See if the PSG is checked.  It is suitable for the transfer of all types of files.  Connect the devices.  If still no joy, try to uncheck MTP and PTP.  This should make the Tablet appear as a camera.

    I had to do with an old Win XP computer so that he can "wake up" and make the connection.  I then switched to the PSG and all was good!
