1. I can’t find a USB port?
USB ports on desktop computers are found in the front or in the back. Laptops have USB ports on the side or in the back. If no USB port is free, temporarily unplug an idle USB device and use that port.
2. My Top Tag flash drive doesn’t fit in the USB Port.
There is only one way to plug a flash drives into a USB port. If the flash drive doesn’t slide in easily, turn it over and try again.
3. Nothing happens when I insert the Top Tag flash drive in a USB port.
All computers and USB ports are different. After inserting the flash drive in the USB port, gently move the flash drive up and down, side to side or in and out to make a connection. The LED light in the end of the flash drive will blink when it is working.
NOTE: Try every USB port on the computer if one port does not work.
4. Still nothing happens.
There are two steps to take to determine what the problem may be.
- Try another computer USB port or call us.
- If Top Tag works in another computer, the problem may be a bad driver.
