Which USB port output power provides Satellite M70-159

Hi!
I have a Satellite M70-159 and I'm looking to buy an external HDD 2.5".
I would like to know if the power provided from my notebook's USB port is 500mA or 1000mA because the external HDD I want to buy needs 1000mA to work.
Eitherwise what can I do to provide to the external HDD the power needed to work?
Thank you

Hi
In my knowledge the notebooks USB ports provides the standard power of 500mA.
Generally if a external USB HDD needs more as 500mA then either the special, external power supply cable is delivered together with the 2.5 HDD or the HDD is delivered together with an double USB cable.
By double USB cable I mean the cable which supports 2 USB jacks. In such case you can connect the HDD to two USB ports.

Which USB port for extra power for external Superdrive?

I just bought an external USB slimline optical drive that doesn't use AC power, instead it comes with a USB Y-connector so that it can use two USB ports for power. I can't really spare the extra port. I read that the Mac mini 2011 is compatible with the Apple USB Superdrive. It does this by supplying additional power over USB, like the MacBook Air. I've tried my drive with just a single port and it powers on and can do some stuff, but suddenly it'll crap out and the OS will tell me the disk was removed without being ejected. I've determined it's a power issue. Does anyone know which port in particular the extra power is delivered through? I'd test myself, but I'm afraid I may be damaging the optical drive when it craps out.
Thanks

I'd get a good AC high powered USB Hub...

Which USB port is my device plugged into?

My application program needs to read a USB joystick on a Solaris 8 system.
How can my program find out which usb port it is using other than:
system("ls -l /dev/usb | awk '$0~""input""{print$9}' > file")and then reading that file? Thank you.

Hello.
If the "system" variant provides the information you need I would use the "readdir" functions (opendir, readdir, closedir; see manpages) to read out the directory contents of /dev/usb. This is way more efficient than starting multiple processes (ls and awk).
To get extended information (information you get by the "-l" argument of "ls" ) call stat() for each file.

No Audio or USB Ports after Recovery on Satellite L505D-S5983

I have recently done a system recovery with disks I created when I originally got my Satellite L505D-S5983. Which put the laptop back to an "out of the box" state...supposedly... I have been asking on a Microsoft forum for help with my problems, with limited luck.... It is still not working. I'm pasting my original posts here hoping that maybe somebody on here can help me.
POST 1:
My Toshiba Satellite L505D is running 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. After about 4 months of downtime I recently started it back up. There were roughly 37 updates to install when I turned it on, as expected. The updates were downloaded and installed, but when the system was restarted the system froze as soon as the desktop loaded. I booted multiple times and every time it completely freezes immediately after start up. I am not even able to open the task manager (ctrl+alt+del). They system boots perfectly fine in safe mode, and I ran what diagnostics I could find and nothing shows up....according to Windows everything is fine.
After Going through this multiple times, I got sick of it and decided to do a system recovery. Not a system RESTORE...it was a system RECOVERY. The HDD was completely wiped, and the system was supposedly returned to its original form as it was out of the box. Getting my hopes up as it finished its process... The system worked fine through the initial setup (language, time, etc.) and then as soon as the desktop loaded it froze again!
So here I am with a completely wiped HDD (except for the factory toshiba software), and a Windows OS that will only work in safe mode... I would like to avoid reinstalling Windows, I don't have any disks or anything. So any help would be appreciated
P.S. let me elaborate on what I mean by "froze". The system is completely non-responsive. No cursor movement at all, touchpad, keyboard, USB ports, nothing. When I did the restore the cursor, touchpad and keyboard worked through the initial settings only. Even when the desktop is loading i get movement for a second or two before everything freezes.
REPLY I RECIEVED:
Hi,
Since the computer is working in safe mode, I would suggest you to start the computer in clean boot to check which third party program is causing the issue. To configure your computer to clean boot follow the link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 in the article to boot to normal startup.
If the issue does not persist in clean boot then refer ‘Step 3’, ‘step 4’ and ‘step 5’ from the following link to narrow done the issue and find out which service or startup item is causing the issue.
MY RESPONSE POSTING MY CURRENT ISSUE:
Thank you, and yes that's exactly what it was. It turned out to be an ATI program for my AMD graphics card that was not installed properly. It makes me wonder if I had to do the recovery in the first place lol.
However now I have a whole other issue. Windows is now telling me that "No audio output device is installed".....
In device manager the yellow "!" is there (High Definition Audio Controller), it tells me that it is not working....yet it says that the best drivers are installed! So yeah...I have no audio now. The only info windows gives me for the sound card is that it from Microsoft... with a driver version of 6.1.7601.17514....which naturally doesn't really help me since I have no idea what card or mobo I have . Is there any way for me to find out what I need other than opening up my laptop?

Also update or re-install the driver.
Control Panel - Device Manager - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio - Mine says RealTek High

Write down description make and model - double click on it - drivers tab - write down version.
Now Click UPdate Drivers which may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers.
Then RIGHT CLICK on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.
1st go to system maker's site and look for latest driver Download - SAVE - go to right click on

NOTE : Sound drivers often rollback so check the version after installation and the
reboot to see if the version you installed is there, if not repeat the install - reboot
until it is. It can take several tries depending on how many rollbacks it does.
Then do same for Device Maker's site.

Ok...so I have installed all of the appropriate drivers that I thought I may need from this website. I have tried ALL of those system analysis programs that were suggested. Every one of them lists my mobo simply as a Toshiba motherboard, with no audio card information. Which I'm assuming that is because it has an internal sound processor. My problem is that none of the properties, or ANYTHING I try, will give me information on what I need to fix this...
I would be more than willing to run the recovery again if I knew that I had everything I actually need... When I created my original recovery disks it created a third disk with "apps and drivers". I installed all of them...and still here I am... And I haven't even STARTED on my USB port issue yet...those don't work either, and they don't even show up in my Device Manager...sigh...
And please, a response that doesn't look like an automated response to try and sell software like the last one I recieved from the Microsoft forum would be appreciated
Thank you for your time, and apologies for the lengthy post, but I wanted to provide as much info as possible.

Satellite L505D-S5983
I would try another restore of the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. Maybe something went wrong in the process. Make sure everything works before applying any updates and adding any hardware or software.
Then add things carefully, rebooting Windows and testing the USB and audio at each step.
Please note this.
The only info windows gives me for the sound card is that it from Microsoft... with a driver version of 6.1.7601.17514....which naturally doesn't really help me since I have no idea what card or mobo I have . Is there any way for me to find out what I need other than opening up my laptop?

USB port has power but isn't working

Hey guys,
One of my usb ports has decided to stop working properly, I'm still able to use peripherals which ONLY require power, an example being my external fan which works fine in that port.
However, I'm unable to use my mouse or any storage device in the port.
The lights(if any) on the devices will light up as normal but will not do much other than that.
I have not made any major changes since the last time the port was successfully used, it has just stopped working.
I've restarted multiple times and the issue persists.
All other usb ports work perfectly normal, no issues.
Specs:
Pavilion DV6 7029TX
Running Windows 8 Pro 64bit
All up to date with windows updates
If any other info is required please let me know.
I'd appreciate any and all help someone may provide in helping me get to the bottom of this.
Cheers.
This question was solved.

Hello -Brendan-,
I think we should try ALL the drivers. The Chipset drivers are the drivers for your motherboard and the other drivers are for the individual on-board devices. I am thinking we should do your Chipset drivers first and then your on-board drivers. Like building a house we should ensure the foundation is solid before adding the house on top. What I would like you to do is to download and install ALL the drivers from the HP Pavilion dv6-7029tx Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. Ensure you download and install the Chipset drivers first, after that it does not matter which order you install the drivers.
Please re-post with the results on either of the threads you have on the go. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

USB Ports No Power

I have a HP Pavillion dv4-1435dx. I changed the processor on it, ever since my USB ports have no power. I went into device manager and uninstalled the drivers and took out the battery on the laptop and started it back up and they still dont work. Can someone help me out please or direct me where to find help?

The issue can be caused by the USB controllers. Please follow the steps below to reload USB controllers.
1. Click "Start", type in Device Manager the Search bar and press "Enter". Click Continue if necessary.
2. In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the "Host Controller", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
3. Repeat the step 2 to uninstall all items under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
Then, restart your computer and Windows will reinstall all USB controllers automatically.
If the issue persists, I suggest that you download the latest chipset driver and BIOS from the following website, and then install then in Windows 7 RC.

My usb port gives power but doesn't work

Hello,
I have a 13 inch Macbook pro and my usb ports stopped working yesterday they worked fine but today I plugged in my mouse but it didn't work.
It lights up but doesnt work, after that I tried diffrent mouses same problem they light up but no movement. Reset my smc, my pram and updated Macbook to 10.7.5 still nothing. I even tried my HTC ONE X it recharged it but didn't reconize it as a phone. Help would be much apreciated.
Thank you guys and girls in advance.
Regards,
Nigel Brown

Hi Nigel,
Is machine still under warranty? I would try a OS reinstall. But its is highly likely the I/O ports have failed. They will still supply power to peripherals that are connected which is why everything still lights, but machine will not register them. The machine would require a replacement main logic board as I/O ports are connected to it. If your machine has no external damage or liquid damage then you will be covered under warranty. Otherwise it is an expensive repair unfortunately.

Go to Apple Menu>About This Mac>More Info>USB
Check if your "USB High Speed Bus" is active. If it is, you probably have an issue with a USB cord or something.
If it is not active, you might have a motherboard problem. That needs to go to Apple for repair.

Error when plugging into USB Port--Insufficient Power

Hello...wondering if I can get some advice/assistance.
On my G4, when I plug in my 5th Gen IPod via Firewire, I get the "not supported," which I'm okay with. But when I plug into a USB Port, I get "insufficient power" at ports from the keyboard and my hub (which even has its own electrical supply). Must I plug directly into the G4 Tower?
Post here, or even better, pls email me at [email protected]

Usb port has power but wont read macbook pro

I have a macbook pro with 2.4ghz intel core i7 mac os x version 10.7.3 and my USB ports recently stopped working. They still power drives, but are not reading any information. It's as if the devices do not communicate, though the powering function of the ports still works. Any body know what I should do about this?

This is what it says under the system profiler both when something is plugged in and not... in case that makes a difference.

Usb ports loosing power?

sometimes i will be working on the mbp and my usb ports will just stop working. It is like all of the sudden they have no power, and the only thing that seems to help is restarting the computer. Has anyone else had a similar issue with this or know what I can do to fix it?

I have the same problem with the newer macbook pro core2duo. I've just bought a perfectly good powered usb hub and most of my usb devices won't load up (most look like they are switched on though). Even a midi keyboard with a small screen get recognised... and it doesn't matter how many things are plugged in, it still doesn't work.
Also a small 30gb usb drive doesn't work on the usb to my left side. This computer is only 3months old... surely i can connect more than 2 usb devices at the same time.
Thanks

USB port "Over Power" with externally powered device

I have a Macbook Pro that's about 1.5 years old. Shortly after I bought the Mac, I converted my external hard drive (by Fantom Drives) into the backup for my computer. It worked fine for about a year, and then around six months ago I started experiencing problems.
First, it would unexpectedly disconnect from the computer, causing error messages. Then, when connected the drive to my computer (usually on the right side, since that seems to make a difference from what I've seen) I began getting messages that it was drawing too much power from the USB port, and therefore the port is shutting down. This is despite the fact that the drive is plugged in and drawing its own power (as evidenced by the fact that I can turn it on when it's not connected to the computer).
With my upgrade to Snow Leopard, I'm getting slightly differently worded but same in effect messages. Is this a sign that something is wrong with the hard drive, or is it a problem with my computer? I don't have another computer in my house to check to make sure it works ok on other computers, but I will try that as soon as I can.

Thanks for the welcome!
Yes, I get the same error, no matter what combination I try. Once it worked if I powered it up, connected it to the computer (followed by the error message), disconnected the USB cable from the drive and reconnected. Bizarre, I know, but I was trying anything and everything that I could think of. At least that one time, I was able to back up the computer (about 20 days ago, according to my Time Machine messages).
Also, the ports don't seem to be affected permanently--I can still use my printer, USB keys, etc. on them no problem.

USB Ports Insufficient Power Supply

There are problems with my USB Ports (Macbook late 2011, 13").
I will break it down:
The rear USB port suddenly stopped working last week. I can confirm this becaues (1) my mouse does not work, and (2) I cannot charge any iPhones, iPods, or Blackberries when plugged into the port. They can charge and work when plugged into the front port, however.
Another interesting fact is that right when I plug my mouse in, the laser lights up for a second, then blinks off.
The front USB will only work under these conditions:
-Power Adapter is plugged in, or
-Power Adapter NOT plugged in, but the headphone jack cannot be occupied.
What should I do? I tried PRAM and SMC reset, to no avail.

Then you have a problem with the logic board and it will need to be replaced to fix your USB problems. Sorry there is no other solution as everything is soldered to the main system board, what Apple calls the logic board and better known as the Motherboard in the rest of the computer world.
So hopefully you bought the Applecare extended warranty within the first year of ownership. Replacing the logic board is expensive.
Good Luck & Best Wishes.
