Just received my new Dell Venue Pro 8 today. (32-bit windows 8.1)
It has the one Micro-USB port. To attempt to use my usb mouse, I took an existing micro-usb cable, and spliced the red, green, white, and black wires to a USB female cable. When I plug in the mouse, nothing happens, and further, I would expect to see 5vdc across the red and black wires, but there is nothing.
The tablet charges through the same micro-usb port and it charges fine.
I went into device manager and unchecked the boxes allowing windows to turn off the USB hub to conserve power. Still nothing.
Any ideas?
