Re: Power Surge
Ok its funny you posted this, I ran into the same problem two days ago with my Office computer heres my story.
I was using the 2 front usb ports on the tower and one of the cords snagged and broke the plastic peice between the 2 USB ports.
I havent fixed it yet because i havent had time, but the actual problem is this...
The plastic peice seperates the connectors from each USB when the plastic broke there was nothing seperating the connection between the two therefore when i plugged in a device to one of them the side was touching the other USB port creating a "Power Surge" Also know as a Short Circut.
What i would do is see if there is a replacment part to seperate the USB ports. and if not you might have to use other ports. Also i would try checking the USB casing inside if the USB ports you are talking about are in teh back of the computer.
