Definitely check the cabling. I don't have an example handy of what it looks like when a device is connected, but powered off. But so far it looks like the port thinks that no cable + device is connected. This may still be a software problem. It could also be that the device is connected but not powered properly. For that it usually has a separate cable, with a connector similar to the SATA cable, but a different width. Sometimes the two connectors may be combined in one big one, I suppose, but in that case I expect to cables connected to such a connector, because one goes to the motherboard and the other to the power supply. -Olaf. -- ___ "Buying carbon credits is a bit like a serial killer paying someone else to \X/ have kids to make his activity cost neutral." -The BOFH falu.nl@rhialto
