No matter what port I plug it into the #1 port just blinks. Did I get a bad unit?

Hello I purchased this and had issues with the IR sensor. So returned it and bought "Kinivo 501BN Premium 5 port High speed HDMI switch with IR wireless remote and AC Power adapter - supports 3D, 1080p". This worked perfectly and is still working without a hitch. I have my Google Chrome, Blue Ray, DISH, and projector hooked up to this and the switch between these devices is a easy remote click away. Hope this helps.

Same thing happened to me. It actually took out my DirecTV signal and had to restore the link between the unit and the TV. One one peripheral device ended up working, so I sent it back to Amazon. Refund processed quickly.

I plugged it up and it worked instantly. Try using a different Slot, look to see if there are any updates. Or restart your computer with the device still plugged in.

I would check that all connections are not loose. It sounds like you have the power usb cable plugged in but check it's connection as well. I'd suggest contacting the company if you have further problems.My monitor has worked flawless since installing the adapter. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Switching cables changed the orange blinking light to blue and blinking for me. I have a Motorola SB6120 cable modem and a Cisco Linksys EA2700 router (Gigabit). I was using a 1 ft. Cat5e cable from Monoprice. Other Cat5e cables I have don't have this problem. :/

If the previous answer does not solve the problem, imo you must return it. But also try something else in the outlet you are using to ensure there is voltage.

I had the same problem when I used a splitter. If it was hooked up directly it was fine. I returned the splitter.

Idk but mine also blinks every 5-7 seconds as well. Everything works perfectly well otherwise. It's probably supposed to do that.

I myself have the same paperweight. The connector kit listed in the instruction Manuel does not work, I know I bought one. So if you can get an answer please let the rest of us know.( I'm not the only one with this problem)

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.

I have to plug mine in about once a week. The little light at the bottom on the front will blink red. Does that help?

It's because it has a different number of pins than the device you are plugging it into. There is no fixing it. You just have to suffer through black and white. Sorry =\

I was having some "issues" with mine, nothing serious. Just occasionally disconnecting and then reconnecting. Checked which USB I had mine in, and it was in my USB1. Changed it to a 2.0; and haven't had a problem since then. So, in my experience, it worked with USB1; but was a little "funky" from time to time.

Check that the outlet you're plugging it into isn't flakey, but it shouldn't do that. You might need to send it back.

Make sure your cables are good and your connections are good. The modulator is pretty simple and there isn't a heck of a lot of things that can go wrong with it. If you are sure all your connections and source are good, then it might be a faulty box.

Not sure, but I remember that mine blinked in a way that I thought strange. But it did charge properly, so maybe just try it out and see if it works ok!

Did you do a complete reset? There is a small hole that you can stick a pin in to reset. That would be the only thing that I would know of. Have you tried plugging into port to see if hard wiring works?
