I'm currently getting an error message on my computer(Windows 7 Home Edition) whenever I try to import macros to my controller. On the taskbar, a popup appears, saying: "Power Surge On Hub Port: A USB Input device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port. Click here to blah blah blah~" Or something extremely close to that. Clicking the popup does nothing except allow me to turn back on my USB port, which was apparently disabled.
Afterwards, the Macro Editor itself isn't necessary freezing(I can still close it, but it stays on that spinning Importing Macros screen forever). Or at least I imagine it's forever because my controller shows no signs of activity. I've waited at least thirty minutes and nothing changed, so I assume nothing was going to happen after all. The program closes fine, however, whenever I try to open it after the first attempt, it does either one of two things - it freezes on the spot, or, the program thinks the controller is still connected, regardless if it is or not. Restarting the computer or using the popup link to re-enable my USB port basically puts me back at square one, where all I can do is recreate the problem.
I've tried numerous things already... two different play and charge cables, four different USB ports, replacing my fresh set of batteries with another fresh set of batteries, replacing my fresh set of batteries with batteries that were mostly dead, having the controller plugged into the USB port prior to opening the Macro Editor instead of making the macros first and then starting the controller in programming mode, reinstalling the Macro Editor and the firmware update for the controller(twice each), etc. Google has a few fixes I saw, but most of them sound way too extreme for what seems to not be a big deal - like, formatting everything and starting from scratch or deleting all of your USB drivers and letting Windows reinstall them(I'd try this, but my mouse/keyboard are both USB and I have no spares).
There was someone freaking out about how the device in question(usually printers or smartphones) fries your USB ports, but so far, they all work perfectly fine with my thumb drive and my own printer. It sort of leaves me to believe there might be something wrong with my controller, because that's the only thing I can pin the problem to. Every other piece of equipment, I had a spare to test with, except a spare controller, for obvious reasons.
Any thoughts on this? I scoured the forums but this doesn't even seem to be a remotely common problem. Thanks in advance.
