| Jun 7, 2023 at 16:13 | comment | added | Vince Skyler | Ok, it could be a hardware problem or a power problem, but how the hell the same port can give power and connect to a phone? | |
| Jun 7, 2023 at 16:05 | comment | added | DrMoishe Pippik | Or it could be a power issue: some USB drives, e.g., HDD, require more power than a USB 2.0 port can deliver.See if the ports that work are USB 3.0. BTW, I've seen some mislabeled ports (USB 2.0 should be white, and 3.0 blue... but occasionally, not.). | |
