Re: BUFFALO WLI-U2-KG54-AI USB adaptor stopped being 'recognized'

Do I have to spell it out?

I am wondering (amongst other things) if there is a bad connection somewhere
on the laptop's USB port hardware that is stopping it from being able to
deliver enough power to 'start' the wireless adaptor, but is still capable
of delivering sufficient to be able to run flash drives.

(I have had a look at opening up the laptop to get at the port assembly and
check its contacts, but it seems to be very difficult to get at, requiring
just about every other component to be removed first.)

Doesn't really help me with checking the output capabilities of my
laptop's
ports directly, but it has enabled me to check the adaptor via the pc and
confirm that the 'power' tab rates this as 400ma and my 1Gig flash drive
at
100ma - rather indicates it's not a good idea to have both pluged into the
laptop at the same time, ....

Why? That's not greater than the power capability of the port.
