Ipod exceeds power limits of its hub port

My ipod stopped working- completely dead- after I got this message from windows---- "POWER SURGE ON HUB PORT A USB device has malfunctioned and exceeded the power limits of its hub port. You should disconnect the device."
The troubleshoot showed nothing.
It was the first time I used the port on the front of my computer.
I tried the 5 R's.
Also, I took the USB cable to Best Buy- they said part of the port from the computer had come off inside the ipod port connector.
I have a new cord and a AC adapter. I tried charging on both- still no response.
If the ipod is dead and does not show up anywhere- it doesnt do any good to retry the 5 R's, does it?????
Does anyone know where I can take it to have it checked????

Power surge might have hurt something inside iPod. If under warranty contact Apple. Likely you are stuck though if the port was at fault and not the iPod.

  • Power Surge on Hub Port: A USB Device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port.

    When I attempt to install an external DVD/CDRW I receive the following:
    Power Surge on Hub Port: A USB Device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port.
    I am forced to reset.

    I would guess that your external DVD is drawing too much power from the USB port, and could be one of the older units; newer units are usually more power efficient. Such device usually come with a USB cable with two USB connectors that can draw power from two USB ports simultaneously. You may be able to get such cable separately but since the two USB ports are located at extreme ends in the S10, you may want to check that the cable come with the USB connectors with sufficient length to reach both the USB ports simultaneously.

  • USB device has exceeded power limits of its hub AND no sound

    Yesterday no sound, but worse...Trying to connect to computer to charge gives me the message "A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub power. Clicking on the balloon states "A USB device has malfunctioned & exceeded the power limits of its hub port. You should disconnect the device." Plugging into the wall charger states "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone...want to change to Airplane mode..." Is my iPhone dead? Ideas please. Thanks

    Hi, Did you every get a reply? I'm having the same issue. The phone was working fine yesterday. Now, the button doesn't work and I can't sync it to restore it because I'm getting the same USB power limit message.

  • PLZ HLP:A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub p

    Hi, hope you can help me, and thanks for reading.
    I have a Dell Inspiron 500 with XP SP2.
    I also have a Zen Micro 6 GB that works perfectly.
    Recently I attached the Zen to the laptop and every time I receive this message:
    "PowerSurgeOn Hub Port. A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port."
    I take the Zen to my work computer and it works perfectly.
    ?What is the problem?
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Lorenzo

    ^your laptop is unable to provide enough power to charge your Zen Micro.
    If it has other USB ports, try using them.
    It may be a case that the laptop is not designed to power external devices like the Zen Micro.

  • IPod exceeds power. HELP!!! It's driving me crazy!

    Whenever I connect my iPod nano 4gb to my computer, it tells me that the "device connected to the USB port has exceeded power limits of the USB hub and needs to be disconnected immediately". I am using this iPod for over a year and i always connected the cable to the same USB port. I tried it on another computer and i get the same thing. So the problem is definitely the iPod or the cable. Can anyone who experienced the same problem tell me what can i do to resolve it? Thnx

    Hey guys, I've figured it out. It was my cable which was having some probs. I bought a brand new one and it works perfectly

  • Power Surge on USB hub port

    I bought a Nano about a month ago. When I first hooked it up to my laptop, it worked fine. Now I can't get it to even connect. When I plug in the USB cable to any of my USB ports (with or without the Nano attached), I get the pop-up on the task bar that says there is a "Power surge on the USB hub port" and that I need to reset the port. I am assuming that there is some setting somewhere that needs to be changed, but I just can't find it in any of the Apple Support pages on the web.
    Does anyone have any ideas for me?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi - Had the same 'Power Surge on USB' problem - thought it was curtains as I could do nothing to get my 18 month old nano to sync or even charge from my computer. I did however manage to get it to charge from the mains with someone elses charger so I tried their sync cable into my computer and - hey presto! - everything back to normal! Then re-tried my sync cable and again 'Power Surge.....' - so maybe a new cable is the answer - hope it works for you - Good Luck

  • Power surge error on Hub port

    Hi Everyone,
    I am getting the following error on my X1 carbon laptop, I tried to change the power on the wireless but i am still getting the error.. Is it any hardware issue .. ? I tried searching on diffrerent blogs but couldnt find a proper solution. Please let me know if anyone has solution for this issue. 
    Thanks

    Try plugging it into a different computer. Also, check for black marks on the charger. If that doesn't work, get a new charger or book an appointment at a Genius Bar.

  • IPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) ruined onboard USB hub (Power surge on hub port)

    A user that I support fried his onboard USB hub on his laptop by plugging in his new iPod shuffle. Before doing this, everything else worked, but now, no USB devices will work.
    When he tries to plug in his wireless keyboard/mouse receiver, it says "Power surge on hub port" as a popup balloon (this is Windows XP Pro) above the system tray. When he clicks on it, it says:
    "A USB device has malfunctioned and exceeded the power limits of its hub port. You should disconnect the device.
    (The location of the device is shown in bold type)
    To reenable the port, disconnect the hardware and click Reset. If you click close, the port will no longer function."
    Options: Reset, Close
    Neither resetting the port nor rebooting the computer will resolve this problem. Most USB devices are not recognized at all (Windows does not respond to them and they are shown as Unknown Devices in the Device Manager).
    This affects not only the USB port that the iPod Shuffle was initially connected to, but all the USB ports on the computer.
    From everything that I can tell, the USB hub built into the motherboard is fried and needs to be replaced.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Is this something that Apple will admit to and pay for?

    I called Applecare and they claim that an iPod Shuffle could not have done this because it never sends power over USB, but only charges. They said to contact the manufacturer of the computer.
    I am not convinced of this claim, however. Possible defects in the product could still cause this, such as it creating a short circuit and having power channel from the USB hub back into itself.
    This is just off the top of my head, but can any of you think of another explanation?
    The timing of everything working before the iPod Shuffle was connected and nothing working after it was connected lays the blame squarely upon the iPod Shuffle. If there had been an issue with the motherboard or its USB hub, it would have shown up before; other USB devices that draw significant power never triggered such a hypothetical defect.
    If anybody has another idea how the iPod Shuffle could have done this or knows of a way to convince Apple to take this seriously, please let me know.

  • How much power can deliver the USB port on AirPort Express?

    I am developing an appliance that requieres access to a WiFi router and a power source (UL 60950-1 compliant) of less than one watt (100-200 mA @ 3.3V) to power my own WiFi device, and the AirPort Express can be the right device to solve both problems with minimun overhead. The problem is that I cannot find the specification of the current / power limits of its USB port.
    To check if it can provide the usual five unit loads, I tried to charge an iPhone 4, but it fails showing the message "Charging is not supported with this accessory", and an external 2.5" HD which requires 500 mA causes the following message to appear on AirPort Utility:
    USB Power
    A device connected to this AirPort base station's USB port requires more power than this AirPort base station can provide. Plug the device into a power supply if possible, or connect it to a powered USB hub.
    Any insight will be welcome.

    Never mind - I tried "rebooting". I hate it how that always works!

  • Help!-wont charge- A USB driver has exceeded its power limits?!!?

    my iPhone charged just fine for the past two months, and now it only charges sometimes.
    I will plug it into the wall charger, and it will charge just fine, and then i'll go to charge it again sometime, and it just wont charge, so i tried to plug it into my macbook, and my imac, and they both said "a USB driver has exceeded its power limits, etc, etc." and so i tried my PC, and it gave me the same message. This has happened more than once, and eventually it just charges, but then the whole situation will repeat days later.
    I've called apple over 3 times, and no one has helped me. so...
    help??

    First, try a different cable. It may be shorting out causing the USB port to overload. Especially since it happens on two computers.
    If the cable is ok, try turning the iPhone off. This can be done by holding down the sleep and home buttons until the off slider appears. Then restart it.
    If this doesn't help, take it to an Apple store for assistance.

  • Should the FW 400 port be sending power to the FW HUB When the Mac is off?

    The title says it all. I am using a refurbished 2007 Aluminium 20 inch IMac and after I shut down the Fire Wire ports still power the FW 400 Hub, is this normal? I have just stopped cutting power supply with surge protector because I was having trouble getting the Imac to start and leaving its' power supply on made the start up faultless. Could the "shut down" instead of "log out" be the cause?

    Hey JustSomeGuy, thanks for solving the problem. The "cause" you were curious about is the choice when stopping to choose "shut down" instead of"log out", I'm not sure what the second one[log out] would do when I wanted to start the iMac again.
    PS: my USB peripherals don't get enough power when the iMac is off to have them show lights indicating power, but I believe you are right. When I had the iMac in a surge protecter, so it was cut off completely from power it had BIG problems with starting up, for some reason the iMac must have access to power to always start up as it should.

  • "Power surge on Hub Port" Message

    I had to order a new replacement iPod and when I plugged it into the computer after fully charging it. A "Power surge on hub port" bubble keeps popping up in the bottom left tray. I've tried to follow all of the iPod tutorials but nothing works...any suggestions?
    Thanks for any help

    This sounds like your computers problem then and not apples.
    Adjusted the usb port properties? :s
    If you're using Windows XP, maybe you should try uninstalling the usb ports then re-instaling them
    on the start menu, right click "my computer" then click properties. Choose the "hardware" tab, then click "device manager"
    Scroll to the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" at the bottom. expand it by clicking the + then right click the top usb item and uninstall it. Make your way down the remaining items and uninstall them. ((ONLY THE USB DEVICES!!!))
    Once this is done, right click in the window and "scan for hardware changes". THen right click the usb devices with red crosses and choose the option to click "install" or "update driver"
    This should restore origional settings to the devices and then all should work.

  • Power Surge On hub Port :(

    when i plug my usb cord in. it says Power Surge On Hub Port, can anyone tell me how to solve this problem. it wont allow me to charge or put songs on my iPod. Help is greatly appreciated.

    I have the same Multi-Burner drive, an X61s, and an X61. I don't get this message on any USB port. I also tried plugging it in with an audio CD already inserted so that it would draw power spinning up the disc right away.
    Is it possible that you have other power-using USB devices plugged in, and the Multi-Burner just happens to be the last one plugged in, pushing the power use over it's limit?
    If you get this message when the Multi-Burner is the only USB device plugged in, I think you have a hardware problem.
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • Power Surge on Hub Port - Nokia E7

    Please help me with my problem with Nokia E7. I have been using it since 4 years and never it gave such problem to me. Whenever i connect it to my PC it says power surge on USB hub. i took it to the technician and he said that the problem was with the problem was with the hardware i.e. the USB port. so i spent a thousand bucks in putting a new USB port and still it shows the same problem. my phone charger and the phone's USB wire doesnt work properly. even a small jerk disconnects the connection.
    please value my time and money ur solutions are welcome !

    AJAKRE001,
    An alternative way to connect your Nokia E7 to a Windows computer is through bluetooth. But I since assume you are also having problems charging the phone so the only recourse is to send it to a Nokia Care Centre for further device evaluation.
    To locate a Nokia Care Point please navigate through this page: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations
