troydiablo Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hi. I am having a problem with my flash drive, i can't use it with usb 3.0 on windows 8, it says that the last device connected had a bad functioning and windows won't recognize it; But this only happens on usb 3.0, on 2.0 everything works fine. Using 3.0 the flash drive is recognized on the bios, so windows must be making some mistake... Thanks for your attention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It's probably the third party USB 3.0 controller that is causing the issue. Have you tried installing the USB 3.0 drivers from the ASUS website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reptonite Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Had the same problem with my lappie. Renesas USB driver was at fault. It didn't like windows 8 for some reason. I therefore reformatted, re-installed 7 and was fine after that. A new OS means that all the third parties need to catch up and update. Sorry for your problems, I know how you feel, it drove me nuts.

Toasted Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Contact customer service via phone and tell them your replacement USB has a faulty activity L.E.D. I don't think the cap matters. But it's best to ask. You can call customer service via Skype by calling their toll-free number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troydiablo Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 i noticed that the activity LED only works during writing process, during read nothing happens, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm not sure if that is correct. Usually most USBs it should flash when the drive is being accessed and when data is being written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
