chrisj1968 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 my wife has the same laptop cooler as I do that naturally runs off of a usb port. problem is, they wiggle after time and i here the "do do da do" sound and see a notification on her screen about a usb device being recognized then later it malfunctioned (the usb connector to the cooler). which just supplies power. any method to stop this from continually going off when she moves her laptop? thanks, Chrisj1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Repair the ports, fix the device, or unplug whatever is causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted May 3, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted May 3, 2016 In the meantime ... go to Settings > Devices > USB > move the slider to "off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the slider it will just disable notifying you if there are issues. I've never disabled it ... but I'm also not having issues ... so ... yea.

I have no idea...I was just answering the question about the USB notifications. If it wiggles ... the USB port itself could be damaged (allowing the movement). Anyway ... it is either the port or the connector. If other devices wiggle ... it is the port ... if they don't then it is that particular connector. Why are you using a laptop cooler? Such a waste (IMO) of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a waste (IMO) of money. i sit on a couch with my laptop and to keep the system cool and to protect my genitalia. I read webmd where it said heat from laptops can kill sperm, (not that I want more kids) but coolers are a good thing. ok, I tested my usb ports with my wireless laptop mouse receiver dongle, the port(s) (4) are good. its the coolers interface connector. all good.
