Troubleshooting Common Errors

Error: 

  

MicroKey FLASH is not detected by the system when con-
nected to through a USB hub. 

Solution:

   

Although the MicroKey FLASH is designed to operate as a 
bus-powered device, the MicroKey FLASH cannot initialize 
on non-powered or low-powered USB hubs.  Check that the 
hub has proper power or try connecting through a fully pow-
ered USB hub.

Error: 

   

The LED is on, but the MicroKey FLASH is not detected by 

the OS. 

Solution:  

The mass storage device drivers are not installed correctly 
or there is a resource conflict in the system.  Use the Win-
dows  Add  New  Hardware  Wizard  to  detect  the  drive,  or, 
if  the  drive  has  already  been  installed,  use  the  Windows 
Update  Device  Driver  Wizard.    Be  sure  that  there  are  no 
resource conflicts in the Windows Device Manager before 
installing the drive.

Error:

 

The  MicroKey  FLASH  appears  to  be  correctly  installed  in 
Windows device-manager, but files take a very long time to 
copy.

Solution:

  

Check that the Operating System supports USB 2.0 , and 
that  USB  host  controllers  have  the  correct  device  drivers 
installed.    When  installed  correctly,  USB  2.0  ports  should 
be  listed  as  “USB  Enhanced  Host  Controller”  in  Windows 
Device manager.  Verify you have the newest device drivers 
installed by running the “Update Device Driver Wizard” and 
checking  for  driver  updates  on  the  Windows  Update  Web 
site. 

Error:    

High Speed Device connected to Low Speed port” 

Solution:

  

The  MicroKey  FLASH  is  connected  to  an  older  USB  port 
which cannot do “Hi-Speed” data transfers. The MicroKey 
FLASH will work fine on a USB 1.1 port, it will just operate
