What should I do if I cannot connect a USB device?

❑

If applicable, check the USB device is turned on and using its own power supply. For example, if you are using a digital 
camera, check if the battery is charged. If you are using a printer, check if the power cable is connected properly to the 
AC outlet.

❑

Try using another USB port on your computer. The driver software could be installed to the specific port you used the first 
time you connected the device.

❑

See the manual that came with your USB device for more information. You may need to install software before you connect 
the device.

❑

Try connecting a simple, low-powered device such as a mouse to test if the port is working at all.

❑

USB hubs may prevent a device from working because of a power distribution failure. We recommend you connect the 
device directly to your computer without a hub.
