Are you plugging into the usb ports at the back of the motherboard or the ports cabled out to the front of the case. If it is the ports cabled out to the front you may be running into a low power issue. try the ports at the back of the board.

How many of you remember the old Compaq Suitcase Portables?

This unit was one of the first PC's that I encountered when I started repairing computers. I thought that the Panasonic luggable was a great upgrade to the unit as you could purchase it with a built in thermal printer. Wow what nostaliga. Zduckman
