Would the replacement of the port be the answer, is there an electronic issue from some controller on the board possible? The Cube boards aren't too costly but the PM G5 Dual 2.7 isn't that easy to find, so that's the one I want to repair. John Carmonne Yorba Linda USA Sent from my

I'm assuming you're talking about an AirPort Extreme base station? If you are, what you're experiencing seems to be normal behavior for those. In order to make the USB print server work again requires powering down the base station, waiting, then powering it back up with everything connected.

The card will work in a Sawtooth, but it will NOT run an ADC monitor. The Gigabit and later models all have an extra power port just ahead of the AGP slot that supplies the 28V to the ADC port. You CAN however run an ADC-DVI adapter and have a DVI monitor connected. On Jul 11, 2010, at 9:36
