USB Hotsync & Charge Cable: Power Surge on USB Port!

[Guest xelar]

Greetings. Have bought the USB Hotsync and Charge Cable for the SPV from PDA Add Ons on eBay. While everything worked fine initially, am now getting a power surge error message from all of my USB ports when connecting the phone. With all other peripherals the ports work normal. Am running XP Pro. Happens when running on power or supply or battery. Has anyone experienced this as well, and more importantly, been able to solve the issue? Thanks, much.

have you got loads of other stuff running on your ports?, i.e. are you overloading the power supply rails of your USB?

Thanks for the reply.

Nope. Nothing else connected to the USB ports (or any other port). According to Microsoft I should use an active USB hub, not a passive one. Have tried all of them (2), doesn't work.

Have you got a MSI motherboard ?
