Problem with USB ports on laptop

[oldgames997]

I have ASUS x5520ld with windows 7 64 bit oS, and of course as many laptops mine too has 2 usb ports, so i bought the cooling pad with usb connection but it also has that external usb port to compensate for occupied one. i have mouse and keyboard too, but whenever i put mouse or a keyboard into that external usb port from cooling pad they won't work. The problem is that i need all 3 of those components, does anyone know how to fix this?

Buy one of those small USB hubs and connect it to the second usb port on your laptop.

Sounds like the usb hub on the laptop pad doesn't work.

Actually ports do work with keyboard and mouse but when i try and plug cooler usb and when i plug something else in the coolers compensation usb hub it won't work, laptop probably cannot recognize more that 2 usb ports

Yeah it is probably due to the combined current load on the port.

I daresay the cooler draws close to the max load.
