That's what I mean, Roy. some mini's DO NOT have another connector for power. They are powered by the usb port in the computer that they are "usb-plugged" into. And..even worse, if that laptop is a mini-laptop, then the combination has sometimes (but not all) slowed down the lyrics/graphics for me. I think, one time the graphics from my primary "big laptop" was slowed when using a usb-powered hard drive.
If he has any one of the above
1)usb-powerd mini Hard Drive, or...
2) mini-laptop w/8" screen, or...
3)Both
that can do it.
