Z5 and USB 3 issues

bodster — Sat, 14 Nov 2015 17:21:17 GMT

Hi all,

I have a Z5 and when I plug it into a usb 3 port on my laptop it connects and disconnects and keeps doing this in a neverending loop.

When I try it on my wifes laptop with a usb2 port all is well and it connects and stays connected. When I plug it into her usb 3 port it doens the same connection problems as above.

Does anybody have a resolve or workaround for this as my laptop only has usb 3.

Thanks

Boddy

This is issue might be related to USB 3.0 ports and USB 2.0 ports. And just to confirm you using the cable came with the Z5.

USB 3.0 provides better speed and more efficient power management thanUSB 2.0. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices; however, data transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0 levels when these devices inter-operate. In 2014, a new standard, USB 3.1, was released and is expected to be in widespread use by 2015.
