How can/does a mobile phone provide power to pen drive?

'Hub power exceeded',when i insert USB flash pen drive??

  • i bought a new keyboard and it has a USB port in it. i have 2 pen drives. when i insert one of them it works fine,but when i insert the other one it says 'Hub power exceeded'..and i have to put it in the back of my CPU(which it works fine). but i want it to wrok on the keyboard..is there anything i can do to fix this problem??

  • Answer:

    The keyboards USB ports are probably the low powered USB model (USB 1.1 the old style), your USB flash drive probably only operates in USB 2.0 (high-speed) mode. Nothing really you can do about it...either buy a powered HUB or just plug it in the back of the system.
