USB Notification overcurrent condition at startup

Do you get this if you disconnect all USB devices are physically disconnected from your MBP?

Hi,

I've the same problem. Since nearly three weeks I've a new mainboard in my MBP 1.83. The noise is gone but the USB-Problem is new.
At first it happend with a printer connected via USB. Now I've nothing connected and the message is still there. Sometimes the message comes through startup and sometimes my MBP runs for hours and then the message appears.

I've noticed that this message appears in BootCamp WinXP, too. But there the message appears more often then in OS X.

If there is no workaround, I'll have to change the logicboard again. Or does anyone has an idea?

I had the exact same problem about two weeks ago. I tried everything I could think of to fix it which did not work. I had to send it in to apple to get repaired. They replaced the logicboard.

Call apple. If you just got the computer I would have them replace it.

Hi Howard,

thanks for your information. That means that I have to bring in my MBP again. Hope that they'll can fix the problem very fast, because it's my only computer and I need it for studies.

I know how you feel. It's a drag when you have to be with out your computer. In your other post you mentioned that they put a new logic board in your computer. If you keep running into problems with this computer, I would ask for it to be replaced. You paid a a lot of money for it. You shoudn't have to deal with these problems.

Good Luck,
Howard

You're right Howard.
I've got a new Logicboard for my MBP 1.83 because of the noise when working in battery mode. As I said, the noise is gone but now I've got this USB-problem.
I'll bring it in asap and then I'll see whether it works or not.

I reported in a couple of other places related to this topic that there are issues with the USB ports in the MBP.

I have a MBP 15 2.33GHz/2GB RAM. I have been using a 7 year old G4 Titanium with a USB 4-Port Replicator in one of the USB ports and a keyboard and external HD plugged into the replicator, and a wireless mouse plugged into the keyboard without any problem for years. The MBP, however, will not recognize the Port Replicator on start up. (I have 3 different ones, 3 different mfgs, and same problem.) You have to LOGIN first, then the external keyboard and mouse will be recognized.

And it NEVER recognizes the external hard drive! You have to plug that into the only other USB port on the MBP!!

I took it to Apple and they just shrugged and said, "Well, it's an Intel Machine... must be something different... you should plug an external HD directly into the laptop then. (So, what if I have more than 1???)

The USB port I use mainly is the USB next to the MagSafe socket.

Reading through the carious topics, there seems to be a lot of reports related to this.
