Okay, he condemned a USB port for power (see most previous comments) but it is not the most serious. The problem is eating what? On Windows XP on a HP laptop, I can not access my beautiful Buffalo connected USB3. The latter remains desperately in standby mode (all LEDs off). I looked in the device manager but he tells me that all is well and everything is working. As Sophie, no way to convince him that my pretty USB3 external drive is connected ..... Well, after 4 hours of attempts to tame it, I give up. If I find a solution, I would be happy to make you aware.
