1. Try using any other USB Device.
2. Connect the same USB device with any other computer.
3. Uninstall and reinstall the USB drivers.
Press the Windows logo key + R key together> This will open Run Window.
Now, type "devmgmt.msc" to access the device manger.
Then, Scroll down to the Universal Serial Bus Controllers (USB) and uninstall the drivers by right click and uninstall option. Restart computer after the Uninstallation to reinstall the drivers.
USB drivers are operating system generic. Restarting computer will automatically let the drivers reinstall in the computer.

Connecting an Eclipse MP3 Player to a Computer

Many people have found that their computers do not recognize the Eclipse mp3 Player, even after connecting with a USB cable. I had the same problem but discovered that the problem lies with the cables themselves. I have several USB 2.0 5-position cables that fit the Eclipse USB port perfectly, but only ONE of them actually works - the cable that came with the player itself. If you've lost this cable, you may be in trouble.

Attached is a screen-grab of the type of USB plug and port involved. You don't see them around very much anymore, and I have no further advice if your player doesn't have a USB port of this shape.

1 usb port on toshiba satellite c660 doesn't recognize mouse

If is just a USB port, then it could be a driver problem, or that USB hub is turn off, or is a fried/bad USB port. Try another USB device on that port too.

My computer doesn't recognize my dane-elec 8gb usb stick , although other usb devices do work.

1. Try a different USB port. If other ports recognize it, then the original port is fried. 2. Try a different computer. If the other computer does not recognize it, then your flash drive is damaged.

Good Luck!

Computer will not recognize mp3 player, device doesn't light up

The two most likely causes for this is either your USB port or the USB cable itself. Try plugging the device into different ports and if that doesn't work, get yourself a different USB cable. If neither of those works then your device is faulty and the only fix for that is to get it serviced by the manufacturer.

When I plug in my hard drive it seems to be working bacause the light on it glows and it makes a silent working noise, but I can't find it anywhere on my computer, when I open My Computer it's just...

When you go to file explorer, and hit this PC the external device should show up. If the drive lost its formatting feature, you should see a notification that the drive needs formatting. If there is absolutely no values post on the computer screen regarding the external device attached to the USB port, then the DRIVE is bad and not communicating. Check the drive in some other device with a USB port, such as a smart TV.

Hello,
it is a known issue that these particular drives sometimes don't get recognized by the Operating System, after coming out of Sleep, Stand By, or Hibernation.
Simply try to disconnect and reconnect the drive again in the USB port, if this doesn't work then, Disconnect it from the USB and connect it to the Firewire. if this doesn't work then, Restart the computer.
It should solve the problem.
