Two day ago I received the Biab 2010 UltraPlusPack USB device. It worked fine till now. It is no longer recognized by my computer. Neither by my second computer. Both XP destops. I am using the usb ports at the back, including the red usb connector of the kabel. I checked the internal connection of the device as described in the forum by Mac at 14 December. The problem is still there. I also checked the usb controllers status in the device manager. They are OK. Other devices are still working fine. I am very unhappy with this situation and I hope the device is not broken. Please help.


Thanks,
Jan R.

If you've already tried the reconnect procedure, plus a different computer and still no joy, I'm afraid your only recourse is to send the unit back to PGMusic for repair or replacement.

Be sure to first contact PGMusic Sales and get return authorization info as well as find out how they would want to handle this, don't just send them a package without first talking with them about it.

Yeah, I know, you are across the ocean...

One shot,

Are you using a Dual USB cable? Are you using the correct USB connector on the Cable? If you don't use both connectors then only one is the correct one.

Just to clarify.
Red is OK is you are using two USB ports on the computer, otherwise only the black will work if a single USB on the back of computer. It was all pretty well explained and illustrated on the card which come with the box.

Good Luck

Thank you all for your reply. I think I know what caused this problem. I tried to copy the data from the usb device to a powered 3,5" usb drive. The same Biab 2009,5 was installed on. During the copy process I left the room. After two hours I came back and noticed the copy popup screen was closed. So, I assumed the copy process was completed. I disconnected the 2,5" device. Now I checked the event viewer. During the copy process the power of the 2,5" device went down. Strange there was no error message on the screen I that moment. This is what I did so far: I deleted the drivers from the usb host controllers, rebooted the PC (all usb drivers were installed again), connected the 2,5" device. Result: it was recognized again. The next step is to copy all data to the 3,5" usb device. I hope the process will now complete without issues.


Thanks,
Jan R.

Just for your information: the copy process from the 2,5" usb drive to the 3,5" usb drive is successfully completed. However, the 2,5" drive is now recognized by the usb port at front only. So, I still have some work to do.


Thanks,
Jan R.

My USB drive quit working as well. I had it plugged into 2 USB ports in the back of the machine, but I moved my machine and accidentally disconnected the ports (the drive was caught on the edge of the desk and pulled the plugs out when I moved the computer). now my USB drive is no longer being recognized by windows. I even tried it on my wife's computer and nothing. there was a post here somewhere about using the "remove USB device safely" somewhere and I think that's probably what happened to mine.

I called PG music and they graciously offered a replacement, sent an email with directions on how to send it back and now I've sent it back and am patiently waiting on the replacement. PG music customer service is top notch!
