I'm trying to install this thing and it just keeps blinking. Is it defective or am I doing something wrong? It's connected to my PC, it's plugged in

I use the sd card, I've never connected it to my PC. I have 2 of them and never had any trouble. check and make sure your sd card is in the slot on the back. I scan all pictures to the sd card then pull out the card and download the pictures on my PC. If the sd card isn't in the scanner, that could be what is wrong.

After connecting to computer, nothing happened. Turning the knob only increase or decrease illumination of led.I received this item without installation CD.Is there anyone who will dircet me the link for drivers of this item. To add more difficulties, there is no brand or company name.

If it's plugged in put a cac card in it. There should be a little green light that blinks. If not, the reader is defective.

its plug & play or maybe you got a DOA Return it for a replacement or go to manufacture site for info.

This might be a repeat answer. If you have pluged the unit into another outlet and the light still flashes I think you should return it.

Maybe the battery is "old" without much power OR make sure you didn't put the battery in upside down. Check the numbers on the battery to make sure you bought the right one. When you press START, make sure the : is blinking

is it in pairing mode? check the manual on how to make it go into pairing mode. the LED will flash and blink when its in pairing mode. although it should work right out of the box.

Try a tester directly to pos. And neg. Connectors It may be faulty. Or it may just be the flashing unit not working. Good luck. If I can try and help contact me agaon

Try making sure it is completely plugged in, otherwise take it out and try it again. Then if both of those don't work check to make sure you put it in properly and go into your settings and see what it's saying. I know when I first got it, it didn't read but then I looked and saw I didn't push it in all the way; after that it was fine.

Are you using the proper power supply. I was cleaning rearranging my desktop, and inadvertently plugged the power supply from my modem into the laCie drive. It had enough power to turn the light on, but not enough to actually run the drive. I HAVE had a couple issues with my drive. The USB port now routinely disconnects for not apparent reason. Makes it difficult to copy large files.

Assuming you have power to the power supply, the power supply most likely needs to be replaced. I would check for a loose connection before I ordered a replacement. Turn off the power before you go poking around with a screw dirver :)

This is a common issue with this model. Count the number of times it blinks. It is most likely that one of the internal boards need to be replaced. At least this was the case for the one I bought.

I had the same issue until I realized the unit had to be plugged into a power source via the USB in order to work. Mine has worked great ever since. Have you tried that?

me too!!! mine started blinking last year - after i took it apart and cleaned as the manual instructed. Put it away for about 4 months - took it out last week, yep,,, still blinking.

Mine had an intermittent Power cord connection. Try wiggling it or try a different PC power cord. The power cord connection pins are too short.

I have not h had this problem with mine since I have purchased it. Did you connect both USB connectors that could be the problem or if you have not installed the CD that came with it then try to install it that may help.

It is probably because it doesn't work. The one I bought wouldn't even connect. You could try resetting the whole thing. Otherwise you may have to return
