TM 6900 Combo Super not see USB

[pcbear]

My USB port doesn't see any HDD discs or usb flash memories. What happened ? In the past I used this usb ports at my TM 6900.
If I connect HDD or flash memory to my USB I have message " USB drive is n ot attached ".
Problem is with both usb ports: front and rear.
How to fix this problem at my TM 6900 ?

Chances are it may be 'bulging capacitors' mate - please check and if they are bulging there is a thread about this problem with TM's - I know, I had this very problem nearly 3 years ago with MY TM6900HD Super!

I opened my TM 6900 and carefully checed every capasitor on the main board and chargé supply board. Looks like everything is ok and all capacitors have normal shape withoute bulging.

Well only suggested that mate as your (or the TM6900HD!!) symptoms are IDENTICAL to what I got all that time ago - i.e. loss of USB contact etc - plus several others experienced exactly the same!
I will try to find the original threads which went to great lengths about this and link to it - that's if you cant find them yourself maybe? I believe it may be the power board, but cant remember now without looking it up!

Here:- Found thread (or one of them!):-

Hi, had same problem on TM6800 ...quite a few years back now. Could not be solved (didn't try very hard to be honest), changed it for tm5402

Make sure the drives are formatted in FAT32 otherwise they will not be seen. You say in the past you have used the ports so maybe you have forgotten about the format requirements. Or do you mean they were working and suddenly stopped? In the latter case it may well be a power supply issue.
