Try connecting the USB cable _before_ you plug in the external

thanks a lot for all the expertly advice, Joe, Mikkel, Miark and jdow.
it looks like the external case is leaking power to USB,
because it happens even when its power switch is off,
but so far not when i disconnect it from electricity.
i will visit my electrician friend and see what he can measure :-)
kind regards philippe
