Are the red LED's supposed to light up when you hook this up to a laptop? I'm using a USB to parallel cord and the included USB to USB cable.

I honestly cannot remember, but can recall I had to study the instructions guide / codes to understand how to read it. Good luck!

What happens when you plug it in to your PC to charge? You should see flashing LEDs. If not you can try contacting VAAS at http://www.vaaselectronics.com/contacts/. Please post to let us know how you make out. Good luck.

I'm not sure why there are a couple of varying answers to this. On my unit the power adapter IS required, which is a bit of a disappointment for me as I was expecting to only have to use it with higher-power devices like USB hard disks. (This was based on the first answer on the list here; unfortunately I did not open the window to see the others.) It will NOT light up, and Windows will not recognize, even low-power devices (like USB sticks and mice) without the wall wart.

No troubles here. Make sure you have the proper drivers. One thing I noticed is if you power from USB, windows may complain about the device not working at full speed. You want to power it up externally first, then plug in the USB.Mine uses an official ATMEL chip so its pretty much the same as an arduino (who's hardware design is open source ;) ). If you have issues with it connecting to the computer, power it externally first (wait for the white light) then plug in the USB cord.

On mind there is a red LED that glows whenever it is connected to the charger. Unfortunately, the red LED never turns off or changes color to indicate it is fully charged. Does yours behave the same way?

Mine is connected to a desktop and when I secure the PC the USB goes off. When I start the PC the USB lights up and is active.

You can charge it with a oc or laptop. Once connected the red led should turn on. When it's fully charge it will turn off or you can use any charger that has a usb port

Sounds like it's not the right keyboard for your laptop. My keys are not lit, but if the only difference is lighted keys vs non, I would try it and just not connect the power plug, if it's just power it might work.

Yes, my computer doesn't work when the light is on. The light is so good I work around it. I can't see the computer in the dark anyway.

It should work if your laptop's port support S/PDIF. That is emitting a red light besides carrying the regular electric signal. Some of them do it when properly configured. You have to check its specs.

It does not light up unless Flight Simulator is running. But you should really plug this into a powered USB for best performance as the LED's use power and make sure to install the software drivers first.

Hello and good day. After calling customer service,I ended up returning it to Toshiba to get fixed. Since then, no problem. I also had a faulty lamp.

No. Don't worry. I am lit most days myself as is the Channel ports LEDs for a couple years now.It been working fine since I installed it. They were lit up then too.

Yes the red LED is supposed to turn off when it is done charging. Try another cable or try a wall outlet if you have not already. If that doesn't work, you may want to get an exchange if you still can.

You push the small button on the end next to the USB port. The red light should come on if it is charging.

Hi Zac - I havent actually tired this, but here's the issue - USB power requirements can be variable amperage. It is very rare to see a USB device which needs over 500mA (1/2 amp), in which case if all 4 of your lights are within this spec (as almost ALL USB lights are) you will be fine - all 4 will be bright. However I do know of some USB lamps which draw 850mA, in which case you could plug only 2 of those in. If they are the usual USB lights I'd not worry, should work fine. Let us know!
