Asus doc mentiones Y cable -one for usb one for Power
The writer only had a single usb cable not Y dual cable.
A powered usb hub could provide anough power to allow discs to spin correctly..
Sometimes laptops don't provide enough power via usb -unlike desktops
I ran a similar powered usb hub
setup with a macbook/AirPort Extreme/ external HDD which worked.
The previous Advent 7 ports usb hub I had used quotes:-
It is powered by a 5 V adaptor which helps to provide extra power, making it ideal for charging your hardware and mobiles via US
manual recommends you do not connect via a hub...
find a usb port on your computer which has the flash symbol (looks like a lightning bolt) this port will provide more current than a standard one. otherwise find a usb 'y' cable you can use, I hate usb powered devices they are a pain.0 -
Amazon has usb2 Y cable -though 30mm -laptop is approx 33mm between sockets each side.
Though for £5 approx it's worth a shot.
Meanwhile I seen a few secs of Spiderman Skystore DVD -though my writer is certainly dropping from device manager and media players when dvd's are inserted.

As I wrote earlier, if you wanted the cable quickly, via a UK seller, you needed to purchase the caddy.
Cancel the things that you have already purchased. Don't bother to open them.0 -
