I still have my Original one (More than 3 years old...) and the plug connection (USB) still works fine for me. The reason I bought a second one is that when the ambient temperature is cool,... the fans (Probably the Bearings...) often make excessive noise untill it runs for a while. So for me,.. the USB connection has NOT been an issue. Hope this may help.

Whats your question? Does this one have that problem? I have not had that problem and I have had 3 of these Targus Chill Mats over the years.

I've had a problem with usb devices too ( thumb drives and cables ) ... I've had to use needle nose pliers to crush the top and bottom of the plug back to "tight" ( make it just a little smaller so it feels tighter when it's installed). I've also cleaned the contacts with alcohol. It's always worked for me.

Try trimming the plastic around the usb connector. I noticed that depending on which cable I use some fit tight and others are loose. By trimming a little of the plastic around the hole for the connector, now all the cables I have plug in all the way and are no longer loose.

I just bought an open box Asus 1005HA PU1X BLK with a faulty power supply. The problem with mine is that the thermal fuse shuts down the charging function by opening the circuit presumably due to overcurrent or heat. The supply cools down and after removing the plug and then plugging it back in resumes charging. The computer itself works very nicely. So charging its doable but slow. I will hold on to the purchase and wait for an opportunity to swap the power supply for one that works somewhere down the line.

What the other guys said. Additionally, maybe it's a defective one? If the USB 2.0 pin doesn't work in any of your motherboard USB 2.0 slots, then maybe try a RMA?

I haven't had any problems with my unit. Check all your cords and hook up. I had to unhook my usb on the front of my tower, had issues with it on my board!

I am NOT an expert. I don't think there are any parts in the adapter that can wear out. It looks to be just electrical connections. So you seem to have either a bad connection or a bad drive. I'm sure you've tried reconnecting and jiggling wires and using different USB ports. If none of that works, my best guess is your drive went bad. I wish I had more profound advice for you. Can you test the adapter with another drive to help isloate the problem? If the adapter works with another drive, then I would say your original drive is bad. Bad drives are way beyond what I can deal with.

I too just had this start up this past week. I've had to jiggle and reinsert the plug to see if the connection will take. My laptop is only a couple months old, so I'll be calling to see what my options are for fix or repair.

I connected it to my USB on my desk top and it doesn't work well at all. Appears to be a piece of junk. Bob

It depends on your computer. My lap top is the same as yours, one usb on each side. For me, this device works with one usb connected. THe second is for power inn the even it does not get the power needed.

The USB plugs into all our office stand alone coms also all our laptops, it even pugs into my Slate, it is a standars size USB,chaeck the size of the female USB socket and also check for blockage in the port. Hopes this helps.

You need to connect it to the power supply on your motherboard, look for the proper connection of the wires coming from the fan. Hope this is the problem.

Nope, USB powered. Most likely your cable is damaged if everything just stopped working all of a sudden. My fan died from use and being just old. Speakers work just fine after almost 6 years. I did however velcro the laptop to the stand.

Try disconnecting power supply and reconnecting. if that does not work, I would return as defective due to internal circuitry failure

I have not had a problem with the actual cooler for the two years of use. However, I did need to replace the power supply due to a faulty/poor wiring job in its contruction. You will most likely find that this is the problem. If the fan is nonfuctional on the cooler, check the power supply and replace.

Haven't had a problem with any of the other USB slots, I have plugged 3 maximum USB points into it, maybe there is a defect, should request a new one.

It may be that you need to use a powered usb hub, if that doesnt work I would, if you havent already, google the problem and see if other users are experiencing issues or if it is just you
