And both are USB 3.0 ports according to the Thinkpad X240's specs. Since Tim hinted, that some USB 3.0 ports are not 100% compatible (and I can confirm that faulty USB 3.0 implementations exist), I would suggest to try it on a computer with USB 2.x ports, instead.

I tried another computer, with no more success. Turns out this one (Getac V100) also has two USB 3.0 ports, neither of which work. I guess I wasn't meant to update my Prime.

On the second laptop, I did try disabling the USB 3.0 drivers, using the device manager. That only resulted in the USB ports being completely disabled.

Windows never has been, and never will be, my operating system.

Thanks, I think I'll waste no more time on this now. Hoping that HP will release a conn. kit for Mac or Linux one of these days.

Cheers,
