Hi Alex,

Read about how you did recovered from a broken raid 5 array. I am facing this problem now and I wonder if your open to guide me thru the re-assembly process. I desperately need to recover some backup files stored on the broken array. I hope to hear from you soon.

In reply to John.

Hi John,
Do other USB devices work (apart from the webcam) ? Your problem appears to be with USB rather than Bluetooth, so I’d be Googling along those lines, in particular “device descriptor read/64, error -71” (remember to omit the minus on -71). If lsusb can’t see it, there’s little chance in bluez being able to. It may also help to add the chipset the computer has to the search string. I haven’t encountered this problem myself, hope you resolve it!
