XPS M1530 Low USB Power?
I have a Logitech MOMO Racing Force Feedback Steering wheel and hoocked it for the first tme to my laptop. And I am not getting force feedback. I unplug it and plug it in the lights flicker, but never stay on. I have plug in the power supply but the supply box makes this weird wining noise. Now I am on a college campus and when I plug in a camera battey charger sometimes it wines. BUt I was wondering if dell has weak power to usb ports(also I am running threw a splitter that's pluged in but still no luck but I think te splitter is a piece of junk)

There are many different makes/models, at varying prices.
But you don't have to buy the 'best of the best'. Any 'powered' USB 2.0 hub will be fine ;)
Whether to get a 4-port hub, or a 7-port hub though, obviously depends on how many external devices you use (/are liable to use)?

Notebooks are notorious for low powered USB ports - try a powered hub.
