I can play if I do somewhat as speed-of-heat described way back in this thread. I was trying different things, including with or without tape for the cursor problem, now I have the cursor with no tape.
Today leaving the AC plug in, & plugging in the USB to start, I tried a very old USB powered hub (prolly not up to USB 3 standards) that wouldn't work. So I tried a very short extension to plug/unplug, that didn't work either. I guess it requires something heavier, & why dburne can use a USB 3 powered hub.
PS. CaptYosi , I'm not following what your talking about.
