I've had a separate powered usb hub in my cabinet for years to handle the inputs from the control panel. Recently, I decided to purchase a usb expander that plugs into the header on the mobo and fits in one of the rear slots.
After I installed the unit and connected everything back up, I found that the trackball wouldn't work. All buttong, joys and the spinner worked as they did before but no trackball.
Anyone have an idea as to why?
The usb unit I installed is powered via 5V.

Im taking it that you are using windows..
Did you check device manager, to make sure there is not a conflict?
You may have to go online and download latest usb drivers from Microsoft.

Or try moving it to a different USB port in case something happened to the one you are using.

If you mean different headers on the mobo the, yes, I tried that same results. If you mean moving the trakball to a different usb port, tried that also. No go.

Yep, Win XP. I'll check the device manager and do some driver research. Thanks!

Take the new thing back out and see if it all goes back to normal...

I had to hook it back up as it was initially so I could play! ;D
The usb expander works with all the other inputs (buttons, joys and spinners) so it seems to be functioning okay with the exception of the trackball.
