I recently purchased a Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS650BC. I plugged this into the front left USB port on my Antec Two Hundred case and had the following issues:
1. Even thought it realized that a USB cable was plugged in right away, it took a couple of minutes before the reader charging screen showed up.
2. When the charging screen finally showed up, it kept alternating back and forth between charing and not charging. After a few minutes this stabilized and it showed "charging" consistently.
3. Took A few minutes for the reader drives to become visible in Windows.
4. Copying files from Calibre usually has issues. When copying, some actions would work, while others would freeze. Sometimes all file copy operations would work, but this was rare.
I tried the top right USB port and had the same results. I then tried a couple of the ports on the back of the machine and all issues were resolved. Tried the front ones again and reproduced the issue.
I was already wondering if I had front USB issues before, as sometimes copying to a USB would appear to freeze (similar to issue 4 above). I think this confirms that there's an issue with the front USB ports. Off topic, but I also find it annoying that the front USB ports are upside down. I can't see the lights on some of my USB keys, as they're facing down.
I'm not sure if this issue is case related and / or motherboard related. Is this a common issue with front USB ports? If so, is there a way I can resolve this issue? I hope so, as the back ports are a bit inaccessible.
Here are my specs:
Antec Two Hundred case
GA-P55-UD3R rev. 1.0 BIOS F8
Intel® Core i7-860 Processor
G.SKILL F3-12800CL8D-4GBRM (2Gx2)
ATI Radeon HD 4350
Corsair VX550W
