cannot connect to USB serial (no /dev/ttyUSBx)

[george_harley]

Hello,

I have a similar problem as described below.
http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,605.0.html

My plug has worked for quite some time. But now something has gone wrong and i cannot connect via ssh anymore. When I tried to connect to the ttyUSBx via minicom it didn't work either. Also tried the modprobe to no avail.
Led wise I don't see any problems. With the sd card on the right, the leds read: light on top is green, light below: off.

I hope anyone can advise,

kind regards,

Herman

I suppose this could be the power supply as is discussed here in many threads. I'm just not sure if the led status matches the power supply issue. A lot of people mention blinking leds (not just the ethernet port, but also the top leds). I hope someone can verrify that a new power supply will help with my led display as described above.

An update to this (my own) thread.
Waited for quite some time to get a response on my questions, also sent several emails to Jason, but all quiet on the western front, and therefor no reply to my messages.

 
Very disappointing. I was still within my guaranty period for my plug, but since I also use this plug for my work, endless waiting was not an option.
In the mean time I've ordered the power supply myself and replaced it. It's working again, but at my own expense.
Well perhaps Newit will find a way to keep this customer happy.
Regards,
Herman
