I've recently bought a USB 3.0 flash drive and wanted to try it out. I connected it to a 2.0 port and it didn't work. The light on it starts blinking for about 1 second and stops. I also get a message that a device was not recognised.
Earlier I managed to make it work after connecting and disconnecting it a few times. It worked fine until I disconnected it again.
I tried every port and it didn't work. I tried it on another computer (and even on a tablet) and it worked fine. I also searched for any info on the net, on the producers site and I didn't find anything helpful.
The port is ok. I tried a USB 2.0 flash drive and it worked fine.
Does anyone know what might the problem be?
