A USB port supplies 5v

As the OPSHM01-006 was made to work with a standard USB port it should only pull current equal to what a standard USB port is rated at.

If when the machine is plugged in it causes the host machine to get sick or it will not operate there is a component down in the scanner

My external hard drive is not responding its making some type of sound I wouldn't call it a click more like a hump nosie, and it wont register on my computer, the light comes on but nothing is...

This few things can be the cause

  1. the usb port that the external is connect to is not 2.0
  2. the pc port is not supplying the required amount of power to the usb external
  3. you may be using a usb extension cord instead of connecting directly to the port
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

  1. Make sure that you are using the supplied usb cord or a very similar one
  2. change the usb port that the external is connected to (it could be a faulty low powered usb port)
  3. remove any usb extention card that is attached (leave on the supplied one)
  4. try connecting to a friends pc and see what happens
  5. during connection to the pc make sure no other usb device is connected
  6. maybe it is time to get a new external case. should not coat more that $15.
good luck

Did you try connecting SD card directly into the MacBook Pro? Or are you utilizing the USB port of said computer? The OS X program "iPhoto" should automatically detect a camera plugged into the USB port, and should prompt you to download the photos.

Most USB hard drives require an external (or secondary) power cable to power the devices when connected to laptop or netbook computers. In some cases, even older desktop computer models will require a similar cable.
This is due to the specifications for the USB standard as it dictates the amount of voltage that a USB port can deliver. Some USB ports are considered "powered" and are sometimes identified by the USB logo and a small "+" sign to indicate the added voltage.
Note: Not all manufacturers use this logo, so if your computer doesn't have this variation of the logo, it doesn't necessarily mean the USB port is not powered.
This added voltage supplies additional current to power smaller devices, such as portable (or 2.5") USB hard drives. However, in the even that the USB port is not powered, then only the minimum amount of current is supplied. This should be enough to slightly power the drive, but not sustain it, thus causing the clicking noise and there isn't enough current running through to move the arm that reads the data on the hard drive.
Chances are that the USB ports on your Asus Eee are not powered and won't allow your hard drive to run until either a secondary cable is purchased or if you use a powered USB hub instead.
The secondary cable looks a lot like a Y-USB cable with one end that connects to your hard drive and the other end consisting of 2 USB plugs that both connect to existing USB ports on your netbook. Between the 2 USB ports, they can draw enough current to power the hard drive - the downside being that if you only have 1 USB port you cannot utilize the cable or if you have 2, they will both be occupying the ports while the hard drive is in use. These cables can cost about $1-7 depending on brand and can be found online in retailers such as eBay & CompUSA.
The USB powered Hub is a more expensive solution, ranging at about $10-25, but is the higher recommended of the 2 solutions since it will provide its own power supply to the tiny device, will use on 1 of your USB ports and since it's a hub, they usually have anywhere from 3-5 additional USB ports (all powered) for you to use, if needed. Some even include built-in memory card readers and they do not require any additional drivers or software to install and can work on any desktop/laptop/netbook.

Will not connect via USB hub

I am guessing that the usb hub is not powered. Most usb charing based mp3 players require a certain amount of power in order to be used on the computer or charged by it. I would recommend plugging it into a direct port or buying a powered usb hub.

Hi i've got a plustek 7200 scanner and its causing a usb power overload on my p.c. can i repair it ?

USB ports operate in pairs from a usb host controller. Normally these pairs of ports are side by side (ie parallel to one another along their longest side) each pair of ports can onlhy be supplied with a limited amount of current.

You can try either plugging the scanner into a port that has nothing in its adjacent pair OR

You can buy a powered USB hub that will be able to sustain the current required for your scanner
