I plugged it intoa another port on the machine. It now can read it. I am
beginning to suspect that the actual physical port on the machine itself
could have a problem as oppose to the motherboard. One thing that I
noticed, when I plugged the device into the computer, it would cause a
reboot. That probably is an indication of a short or something is
happeing on he mother bard. I gues I will have to open up the unit to
check it out.
