power supply on USB connector after the computer shutdown
Hi.
I've got computer with Abit BH6 ATX motherboard. It has got two USB connectors. Unfortunately after shutdown of computer the power supply on USB connectors is also turned off. In newer computers even after computer shutdown I can plug in my USB device (Ethernet HUB) and it still works (it means that there still is voltage on this USB connector). Is there any method to do the same on my computer with Abit BH6 motherboard? Chris. |

You would need to remove the motheboard from case, take a knife and cut the 5V power supply trace on the back of your motherboard, right before where it connects to the USB port, then solder on a jumper wire from the back-side of the board, between the ATX connector-pin for 5VSB to the USB port pin that cut-trace went to. This will result in an unfused supply though, which usually isn't a problem but if you wanted a fuse you could of course put one on in series with the jumper wire. Of course you'd want to check the circuit, be sure that cut 5V trace and added 5VSB wire is connected correctly, not shorting on anything. IMHO, you'd be better off to just buy a POWERED USB hub, one that still supplies power when the system is off. Dave |

I'm not sure with your motherboard, but on mine, I have to set some options
in the Bios(in the power supply menu) Mqybe you should check that "Brysiu" a écrit dans le message de ... Hi. I've got computer with Abit BH6 ATX motherboard. It has got two USB connectors.

Perhaps I was making assumptions in my prior post... check the manual, and the board itself, for a jumper to change the USB power function from 5V to 5VSB or 5VFP. IF the jumper exists, it's usually fairly near the port or it's pin-header. Dave |

Of course you'd want to check the circuit, be sure that cut 5V trace and added 5VSB wire is connected correctly, not shorting on anything. Since there isn't any proper jumper on my motherboard I won't try this way. Cutting any traces on this motheborad It's too risky. I dont' want to buy new motherboard after eventual failure. IMHO, you'd be better off to just buy a POWERED USB hub, one that still supplies power when the system is off. Dave I think this is much better and safe method. That's way I'm going to do. thanks, Chris |
