  1. USB device malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. please help.


    Okay, i have tried my best to find a solution to this problem, but so far, no luck.


    i have a Rode USB microphone, that i have been using for a while now.

    However, since a few days, at random times windows says "usb device malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it" and the microphone is no longer seen as an audio device (however, the light on it still works, so it gets power) .

    Sometimes reconnecting it works, but often not. it than refuses to work for hours or days even.

    restarting the computer does nothing.

    updating the USB driver through device manager, or deleting the driver and restarting, did nothing.

    using the troubleshooting windows feature, didn't fix it either. it detects the problem, but can't fix it.


    in device manager i can see the usb port saying:

    "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

    A request for the USB device descriptor failed."


    However, the microphone does work on another PC. i tried different USB ports on my main PC, but still no luck.

    I tried updating all drivers one by one on the universal serial bus controllers, did nothing.


    could this somehow be a microphone problem? ( which i doubt, since it worked before, and works on another computer )


    how else to fix this on Windows 10 pro 64-bit?

    :)

  2. usb device not recognized (malfunction) - Printer

    Hope somebody can help a non-techy here.
    I have a canon IX4000 printer, and had been using it without problem. The next day (having touched nothing), I got a USB device not recognized warning, and that it has a malfunction (this is under Windows XP).

    I've tried the following:
    - deinstalling all USB drivers under device manager
    - system restore to several days prior, when I knew the printer was working
    - trying a different USB lead (tested the lead on another device, so know it works)
    - plugged lead into every other available USB port on the computer (front and back).
    - tried plugging it into another computer (comes up with the same malfunction warning)
    - deinstalled the printer drivers, downloaded and reinstalled them.

    Nothing I've tried works. I know the printer functions as I can start it up under service mode and print off test pages without problems, but my computer just won't have it. Could it be a hardware failure, and if not is there anything else I can try that isn't listed above?

    Really grateful to anyone who can reply. *Smile USB device malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. please help. :)

  3. USB Device Not Recognized (Malfunctioned)

    Just had this problem recently, a cmos clear corrected it. One item you can check to see is if the bios recognizes anything by loading its "boot from" menu and checking for any USB mass storage listed.

    USB Device Not Recognized (Malfunctioned)

    I just got everything in my NZXT Vulcan and for some reason both oh my USB thumb drives aren't recognized, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit says if it doesn't work after replugging then it has malfunctioned and to replace the drive. This is happening on two of my thumb drives that I've verified are fine on different machines. This problem is happening for both the case's front USB ports & the motherboard ports.

    I looked up this issue on the web & it says to uninstall all of your USB drivers and let Windows reinstall them, tried it and didn't work. Reset the CMOS, didn't work. Yanked the power supply cord out for about a minute, didn't work. Pretty stumped right now, anyone have any ideas?
