Now my Sonic weld is not recognized true Regen anymore! It works perfectly from usb port.

When Regen is connected, Sonicweld is ON and I guess that I have 5v power, but how I can test if the data is going in.....or WHAT I'M GONNA DO NOOOOWWWW?!!!!!!
assume there's only three wires in your connection?
did you mix them up?
No, but now doesn't recognize my Sonicweld again, even without the Regen!
I will have to try to reinstall the driver.

No drivers

Is there an external gnd wire going to sonic weld through regen?
If so disconnect it and retry

I did the same way I had before:
+5v and ground from Teradak
+3.3v and ground from battery
This way worked before!

I will try with drivers, since now doesn't play even strait from usb port to sonicweld.

Try get it working direct with cable first
Maybe try different USB cable
Drivers should not be the issue

Just to be sure......you mean the ground that came with +5v from Teradak?

One more thing:
When I connect the usb cable into the mobo usb port and Regen, I don't have power to my sonicweld! I need that "extra" 5v from Teradak.

gnd coming in with +5v

leave the +5 connected and disconnect its gnd
there is already gnd through the usb cable and usb card
the optional return path might be causing the error

I connected only the +5v to sonicweld (no ground)......same thing. Desn't work from the card, but works from the usb port.

The card itself doesn't have ground connected (only the +3.3v)

Assume you've tried the normal stuff
Turn off power to USB card turn on power to USB card
Shut down PC and then press start
Remember if the USB card isnt in and on for bootup it won't know its there
Regen is hot swappable

Take out usbcard and put back in

Check for 1.6v on clock

It's likely something simple
