Power Surge on Hub Port - SOLVED
A USB Device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port
4:17pm PST
How to solve the "Power Surge on Hub Port" error!

I've got a Seagate Freeagent 1 Terabyte USB external hard drive at work. One night, I was backing up stuff to it, left it on overnight (obviously it didn't move), came back the next day, and I see this error message about "Power Surge on Hub Port" - this is Windows XP SP3 btw. Restart computer, same error.

I google it. TONS of posts about removing USB devices from Device Manager, restart computer to reinstall them, then disable warnings. Okay, this would disable warnings, but it doesn't fix the issue. More posts about people jiggling their cable and it randomly working. Tried it, no go. Reading the posts though, I realized that the error wasn't specific to my device as people had issues with digital cameras/printers/etc.

Tried the drive on a different system. Same error. This bothers me, because now I'm thinking it must be the device itself, but I rarely use it.

Thinking about people getting lucky with jiggling the cable, and it hits me... swap the cable.

Swap the USB cable, and presto, bam, perfecto. Problem solved. I can't believe that after so many people had this issue, and after so many posts on the internet, this solution wasnt posted anywhere. Hopefully this helps someone out there.

Evo2k10 - USA Champ!?
12:31am PST
Alright, alright, I got 2nd place, not 1st, but I only lost to the korean, so I was the highest placing American. Not too shabby! Needless to say, it was one of the best experiences I've had in Tekken. 3 years in a row now I've played on stage at Evolution. Thats gotta be some kind of record haha.

Anyways, here's the vids and some pics:
