I have 2 external hard drives and an ipod and am having a problem with them all.
When I connect them to the laptop they connect (light up) for around 5 seconds and then just go dark again.
I've tried using different leads and have charged the laptop through another device.
Anyone know a simple answer to why the laptop seems to be refusin to accept connection to these devices apart from it being donald ducked (shouldn't be as it's fairly new and not chock full of filth etc).
