My Apologies-Puerto. M2Tech Hiface is normally powered by
USB Output. M2Tech Hiface EVO has external Power Supply.
Thought you had Hiface EVO. You currently have a M2Tech
Hiface that has been modified to run on an external Power
Supply, and it is NOT an EVO? Just wanted to make sure that this was clear. If the first Unit worked perfect, with
the applicable Driver installed, then something had to have happened to that Driver on your MAC during the
Thunderstorm. Are you using any type of Back-up, external
memory card, external Hard Drive, Internet Back-up? Try
checking your Back-up for the M2Tech Driver there. Either
the MAC already has the Driver installed, or it lost the
Driver during the Thunderstorm. I would go with the latter-
if previous Unit got fried, good chance the Driver didn't make it either. Verify that you are indeed trying to install the proper Driver for your System-32 Bit, 64 Bit
whatever. Make sure that you are trying to install the most
updated Driver from M2Tech. Could be that the Driver Disk is out of date, but try it anyways. I sometimes get low
conductivity with one USB Outlet, with my Netgear Device, I
switch to another USB and everything is fine. I can still run other Devices on the former USB Outlet anyways-go figure! USB is a flaky connector. Make sure Hiface is connected, and powered up when you install Driver. I don't
believe MAC will install Driver if MAC can't see the applicable Device attached for that Driver. Check your
ATTACHED DEVICES to verify Hiface is there and MAC can see it-then install Driver.
