Different models used different schemes. Some had Firewire and USB connections, using one for power and one for data. You could just have a broken cable. There's four wires in USB, two power, two data. If a data wire broke but power didn't, you could see a device turn on, but not actually be usable. You could be trying to run it powered from your USB port where your USB port isn't able to supply enough current (try going through a powered hub, instead), you could have a wonky USB port on the computer (try a different port - my computer's front-panel ports connect through crap cables, they don't work well with high speed USB). -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
