Hey folks,

thanks for thinking about it futher.

I have a USB power Xkey25+37. They used to work and now none of them do on my substitute laptop.
They light at the mini USB port at the xkey flashes red. I guess a pover supply issue too.

But how can both go out of order at the same time (windows update?).

I tried different cables and puut the cables even directly in the socket in the wall. Still blinking red.
Probably a global conspiracy ;-)

These xkeys a pretty slim on my desk and sometimes they are sufficient to work with.
On my old laptop I also had issues lately with the xkeys though.

With all this trouble I will get a hardware and software specialist before I can continue to be a muscian in the first place (in my spare time.....)

Cheers
Stefan
