USB Device diagnostics

Test what the browser can see. Know when it cannot.

Use standard browser tests first; WebUSB is only for compatible devices that the browser is allowed to access directly.

Run these first

Relevant live checks

First diagnostic sequence

Do the high-signal checks before risky changes

  1. 1

    Identify which higher-level device type this is

  2. 2

    Try a known-good cable/port

  3. 3

    Use WebUSB only if the device is compatible

What DeviceOK/browser can help check
  • Request compatible WebUSB devices
  • Show exposed VID/PID and product strings
  • Test higher-level camera/audio/gamepad APIs when applicable
What this browser page cannot prove
  • Access every USB device claimed by the OS
  • Measure USB voltage/current generically
  • Repair drivers
