Upgrading BIOS on Scenic L

After installing a USB 2.0 hub, two of my peripherals won't work, they do when plugged into the USB ports in the back of my computer. The Hub manufacturer say that I need to upgrade my BIOS, and my manufacturer would be able to tell me how to do it, and have a patch available for download from their site ?? Hope someone can help.

Here's the answer:<BR> <A HREF="http://217.115.66.53/ubb-files/Forum1/HTML/001994.html" TARGET=_blank>http://217.115.66.53/ubb-files/Forum1/HTML/001994.html</A> <P>This tells you how to find out the mainboard type and how to find the BIOS update. But I doubt that this is the problem...

Hmmm . . . looks complicated, if that is not the answer, I think I would rather find out the answer, rather than try to upgrade the BIOS . . . any ideas out there ?<P>Thanks<P>Chas<BR>

Perhaps ... tell what Peripherals, what hub, what OS...<P>Actually, if they work when connected directly then I'd definitely look for a problem with the hub. <P>Is it self powered (eg has an own power supply)?

The hub is a Sitecom 2.0 Hub, self powered. The peripherals are a Jornada 540 series PDA, and a Vivicam 20 digital camera. OS is Windows 5.1 (Build 2600)<P>Do you think I have bought a dodgy hub ? My Epson Stylus CX3200 works both direct to the computer AND through the hub? Wierd or what? ANY help would be great.<P>Chas

If you can try to return the hub and try a different brand. Perhaps something more "Brand", though *g*<P>USB2.0 is NOT trivial signal quality wise. If the hub is not USB 2.0 Certified (has it got the USB 2.0 Logo?) then this might be the problem...

USB 2.0 logo ? What does it look like ? I think returning it maybe a problem as I bought it online !!<P>

Don't ever buy any USB 2.0 device without that if you want to be sure it's working.
