Problem with Hub Port

Hi,

I needs some help please:- When I coonect mouse to laptop via USB the following message comes up:-

Power Surge On Hub Port

A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port. For assistance in resolving this problem, click this message.

When I click on the message, it asks me to click on reset the USB port and click on OK. Done it but still not working.

How can I solve this problem? Thank you

  • Cause: USB devices may draw a maximum of 500 milliamps (mA) per connection. With the release of SP2, if a device attempts to draw more than this, a USB port balloon message is displayed to indicate this over current condition. When docking the tablet, a very brief over current condition is sometimes detected by the OS, and the warning message is displayed. This message has no affect on the functionality of the USB port.

    Resolution: To prevent seeing the USB Power Surge alert message, complete the following steps:




    Click on START

    Click on CONTROL PANEL

    Double-click on the SYSTEM icon

    Click on the HARDWARE tab

    Click the DEVICE MANAGER button

    Click the “+” next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand the selection.

    Right-click and select PROPERTIES on the Intel® USB UNIVERSAL HOST CONTROLLER (not the USB Root Hub)

    Click the ADVANCED Tab

    Check the box that says: “Don’t tell me about USB errors”
