Windows is unable to recognize the device, one of the connected usb device has malfunctioned

in my pc it shows the error when I connect a usb device is something like this perhaps datacard or USB key via a M/F, else if usb cable connected directly connected to the pc port it works fine... even changed the cable twice there is no cable fault

It would seem that the cables tried maybe not until the correct USB connection plug. If you test this, according to the post Michael75951, and it still does not work, perhaps he could confirm bad cable(s.)

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

    What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

  • Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive

    I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.

    Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.

    The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.

    I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.

    Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.

    This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I updated my LAN driver a week ago, and it has not really helped. My internet service is provided by my apartment complex at the school, but I don't think it has anything to do with it, because I had this problem last year living in dorms and at home.

    Hello

    First of all, you should check your LAN cable.
    Sometimes the laptop may not be correctly connected to the LAN as a result of a defective cable.
    In addition, you should check if the network card is properly recognized in Device Manager. He should t be a yellow exclamation!
    In addition, you must check the settings for the TCP/IP protocol in the LAN card properties.
    TCP/IP must be set to automatic. I assume that you are connected to a server and the server supports supported a range of IP addresses and assigns it automatically.

    Last but not least check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS.

  • PCMCIA card does not recognize the connection to the local network on Satellite Pro 4340

    Hello world

    I have 2 Satellite Pro 4340, running Win2K, SP4. I bought a card PCMCIA 10 / 100MB of Ultron (more or less no name :-))

    When you insert the card, Win2k recognizes the card, but when the I plug the network cable, it does not recognize the connection. Cable is fine. It seems there is no power on the PCMCIA card. I read on some forums that there is a problem with the Topic100 Card Bus driver and voltage. I see that many people have the problem but not where to find the driver for the problem :-/ I couldn't find a driver on toshiba support site. A

    ll have an idea, or better a link where I can download this driver? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance for your help, support and answers.
    Corey

    If this card needs a driver you will not find it on the download page of manufacturer of portable. You must check the card producer site.

    As you know in the world of computers, it has set different standards. Produced very often cheap are not designed for these standards, and you can have different problems. I recommend you to use high quality products.
