Mac Forum / General / Hardware / September 2006USB Going Dead
Hi, I own a G4 Cybe running OS Tiger. I have a keyboard and speakers plugged into a USB port. There are also a mouse and graphics tablet plugged into the keyboard. Lately, twice in the last week, the keyboard and everything plugged into have gone dead. I had to restart my computer to get them working again. I am wondering if there is any way to diagnose this problem. Is there any way to tell what might be causing it? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Mirsky > Hi, I own a G4 Cybe running OS Tiger.

Your peripherals may be drawing too much power from the bus. >Hi, I own a G4 Cybe running OS Tiger. I have a keyboard and speakers >plugged into a USB port.

Unplug the KB from the cube; and plug into the other USB jack. Does that help at all? and/or Try unplugging the tablet... For me, 99% of the time, X recovers from this hassle. OS9 kept losing devices right & left...and would NOT recover short of rebooting.
