It works fine on a notebook, sometimes it hookes on a Desktop system but not often. Do you have the possibility to increase the voltage for USB in your BIOS? Try to increase the voltage a bit, it should help. Maybe a notebook isn't able to provide enough current or voltage. I can't remember mine is weak. Hope it helps Martin Ereth
