I had problems before with my USBS. but now there fixed...NOW it cant read anything with an SD card....

Tried all USB slots...any help?


Im trying to update my blackberry storm...all drivers etc are installed. Phone works great connected to the pc without the SD card...
I can say the same for my digital camera.
 
right...my phone is now connected with the SD card in it. ITs not spazzing out.
But it only works on one usb port...

When i say spazzing out. When i connect to another port i get the popup saying what i want to open this drive with..then it disappears, then it opens again, then disappears a,d it makes the sound that a device connects...then disconnect sound, then connect etc etc..
get what im saying?
 
It sounds like it's trying to draw power via the USB, and surging the port.

Similar happens when I plug in my 2.5" hard drive into some USB ports.
 
Not all USB ports are equal on motherboards! Dells are particularly bad for that, usually the front ones which aren't directly connected to the motherboard but via cables. You might be best to get an externally powered USB hub and try using that instead although transfer rate might not be quite as good, generally you won't notice.
