Don't be in too much of a hurry to assume one particular piece of hardware must be bad. There can be situations where you just can't tell what's going on. For example, I've got a USB HDD enclosure and USB cable that don't work on my home PC. If I replace any one of the three components (the enclosure, the cable, or the PC) then the other two _do_ work! What can you conclude from that?
