Hi guys, So, I'm looking for someone here who knows a lot about hardware, specifically on the Mac-side and someone who knows a lot in particular about USB-devices. Oh, and electricity, perhaps.
Here's the deal. I've got a Skype Wireless Freetalk Headset, the old model. I've been using it for a while with no issues at all. Eventually, my Mac would disable the device because it said it was drawing too much power and had to be disabled. The headset setup consist of a round-shaped small box with one button to turn off the receiver completely, and to pair it properly to the receiver and the headset. On this box there are two buttons, one extending to the plug of a USB and the other extending to a small, round plug which plugs into the right side of the headset for charging. Both of these aforementioned wires both extend away from the round box. When I get the message above in a dialog box, the headset promptly turns off because there is no signal being received from the USB port as it becomes disabled, and when touching the wire charging the headset, it becomes boiling hot. The USB wire feels fine, but all the way from the point from which the wire to the charger extends, to the plug that goes into the headset for charging, becomes incredibly hot and almost impossible to touch. My question to those knowing about this type of issue is this: Why would this happen after a year or so of using this headset just fine? Is it because the wire is broken? If that is the case, why could I use it for a couple of hours prior to this happening today, regardless of twisted the wire became? Thanks, and I'd be grateful for any advice.
