Hello there, I have not fixed it....yet! What i did was open my interface carefully to reveal the electronics! and the patched the direct USB live into the chip on the PCB. Which just basically hot wired it. I only did this just to verify that it was an interface problem. I don't advise it because y...

The only thing i could fry was my interface, and its only low current. I know I probably shouldn't have done it but hey, at le...

Hi Guys, I remember reading something about macs not powering the ports properly on low signal USB's! So i thought i would try and fool the mac into powering it up.

Iv just tried a non-powered usb port with no change. = [

This is the only thing that has ever let me down on my mac!
