Thanks for the update but I already sent my notebook back so they can figure the damn thing out as I spent to much time and energy trying to find out how to fix the damn problem.

I'll keep you guys updated as soon as I get word.

Greetings G and all,

I too have the EXACT same problem;

Tiny mediabook
AMD 64 3000+
ATI 9600/9700 mobility 128MB
1 GB RAM
................SiS 7001 chipset and Windoze XP! SP1
American Megatrends BIOS ( which on my laptop i has the most watered down BIOS option i have ever seen )

worked perfectly for 6 months, then POP... USBs now work on and off up to a maximum of 30mins at the moment. I was looking into flashing BIOS, SP2, blah blah..

But thanks to this thread i know that all of that is a waste of time. I'm sending it back to tiny, then selling it if they fix it. I have ordered a Dell XPS GEN 2.

That sounds like a plan to me. I should be getting my notebook back in a few days from the manufacturer, and when I do im gonna run the shit out if to see if they fixed it, if not then Im gonna send it right back and ask for my damn money back....and get a hampster.

Hehe,

The thing that gets me is the totaly random nature of the failure. BTW, anyone here know the power limit of USB 2.0 these days?

I bought a cooling plate for my laptop not long before it first failed. It draws 300MA, and i believe my ADSL modem draws up to 500MA (according to windows)and my mouse takes 45MA.

Update time boys and girls ;)

After almost a freak'n month I call these guys up and ask what's the status of my notebook, (I'll give the short version) well they say that the mother board has to be replaced and that it is on back order....WTF back oreder? I tell them that they had my notebook for a month and I did not receive a phone call, email or even a damn letter. All they could say was oh sorry blah blah blah. So I said "You know what, give me money back" and guess what...BAM! it will be shipped with in afew days.

I have received my notebook and all is working pretty good so far but I don't feel the same way about my notebook anymore as I feel it has been molested, boohoo. plus im worried if I run it the way I usually do, it will brake again :(

updated completed.
