Use a USB charger with a newer PowerBook and 10.3
Authored by: magir on Nov 04, '04 10:55:56AM

It's definatly true that the PowerBook AL has less power on its USB ports. For instance my USB/FW 2,5" HD worked flawlessly on my TiBook but fails with USB2 on the AlBook. On both machines, the firewire-port provided enough power.

I'm also having problems with some USB2-Hubs on my AlBook. USB1.1-Devices connected to it don't work properly. For instance my MS Office Keyboard produces additional characters from time to time an my Logitech Mouse adds some click every few seconds - very annoying.
