USB Dongle stopped working

Post by chrisbe »

No lights any more, not able to connect any more. "Failed to open port"
I did not change any settings on my mac.

Is it broken?
All cables connected.
What can i do?

Nothing specific. I was updating the Spoke POVs. It stopped working without any visible cause. Just before i could update the 3rd one. No cable plucking or physical forces to the Dongle.

Yes i did restart the Computer. I also tried a second mac.
Leds on the dongle do not light when plugged in. Nor do any Leds on my POV start lighting when i plug in the dongle.
USBtiny shows up in system profiler.
