Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

Have you tried this on another machine ?

If so - was it the same result?

 

Have you tried it in a different USB port ?

[tal132]

yes, i tried on another device and it was the same result.

i also tried in a different port but nothing happened..

If you are getting the same result from 2 different machines then the problem lies with the device itself.

It sounds like a power issue.

Does it use the USB port for power or does it have a separate mains adapter?

 

Either way - I think a call to the retailer is in order as it must still be under guarantee.

it uses the USB for power, thanks anyway:)

Give the retailer a call. They should swap it for a working one.
