  1. USB Camera not starting, and keeps connecting/disconnecting


    I have a Razer Kiyo USB camera that recently stopped working on my desktop PC that runs the updated Windows 11.When I open the Camera App I initially get the error code 0xA00F429EIn the device manager I can see that the camera is there, but everytime I try to access it, it disconnects after a couple of seconds, and then within a second it reappears, and then just cycles this behaviour.I have the tried updating the drivers, but no difference.I hope you can help

    :)

  2. Xbox 360 controller keeps connecting/disconnecting

    My xbox controller keeps connecting/disconnecting, I hear the audio notification from Windows 10 that it's connected then disconnected constantly. I'm trying to play rocket league but my controller keeps going on/off. I've tried different ports front and rear on my PC and disabling USB power saving and selective suspend settings. The controller itself is fine, I swapped with my brother, mine stays connected on his, his on mine has the same problem. Any ideas?

  3. USB connecting and disconnecting

    This is a sort-of follow on to my earlier question about cables.

    Tethering a camera to a tablet, laptop or desktop generally takes a couple cables (often a USB on-the-go cable). So I have a 3 meter Amazon Basics USB 3 Type-A extension and a 1M USB 3 Type-A to micro B. Works perfectly. Plug the micro B into the camera, the other end of the short cable into the female end of the extension and the other end into the computer. Shoves data back and forth at good speed, stays connected, happy happy.

    Wanted a right-angle micro B (fits the camera better), so I bought a .3M (1 foot) USB 3 Type-A to right angle micro B. Plugged THAT cable into the camera, connected the extension, plugged into the computer. It connected, then started very quickly disconnecting and connecting. Repeatedly.

    Just in case it was something bizarre with the camera (though it worked perfectly with OTHER cables), did EXACTLY the same thing with an SSD in a USB 3 micro B external, USB powered case. Took the SAME (first) set of cables, connected, worked fine. Shoved data at around 400MBps.

    I’ve done this with good cables (Transcend) and cheap cables (Amazon Basics) and they work. I’ve even plugged things into USB 2 extensions and even THOSE work – though slowly.

    Switched to the NEW cable with the right-angle micro B. Connected to the same extension and it did the same thing as before – connected then started very quickly disconnecting and connecting.

    BUT, if I take JUST the Type-A to right angle micro B, plug that DIRECTLY into the computer, it’s fine… The SSD stays connected and pushes data fine. But NOT when connected to the extension.

    Took a DIFFERENT, 1M Monoprice USB 3 Type-A extension and plugged the right angle micro B into THAT. SAME problem. Connects, disconnects repeated, very quickly.

    All these cables work. But only SOME work when plugged into either of the extensions. MOST of them (at least 3) work FINE plugged into EITHER of the extensions. But the one I WANT to work – the one with the right angle micro B DOESN’T.

    What’s happening when a USB peripheral connects and disconnects quickly, repeatedly? Is there a PROBLEM with the length (I’m way under 16 feet) or something else? Is it some kind of protection by the computer when the USB device is drawing too much power, has a wiring flaw, is causing a short or something?
