sorry I don't know, don't have any of these mini consoles. maybe the adapter you are using to power the psc is just enough for the console itself?
Then why does it sometimes work?
EDIT: I get the PSC to recognize the external HDD (so, AutoBleem successfully boots) by taking the OTG cable from the PSC's Micro USB port and putting it back. Since I sometimes have this problem, I have to do this process when it happens but I'm worried if this messes up the external HDD since for some reason the external HDD automatically turns on as soon as it's connected to the OTG cable and the latter is conanected to the PSC's Micro USB port even with the PSC turned off but what choice do I have? Since the external HDD automatically turns on if connected to the OTG cable and with the latter connected to the PSC's Micro USB port, I only connect it to the OTG cable when I want to run AutoBleem. Also, the external HDD doesn't turn off even after turning off the PSC and the PSC's adapter makes a noise when turning off the console with the external HDD connected to the OTG cable, so one more reason to connect the external HDD to the OTG cable when wanting to run AutoBleem. Maybe the power supply doesn't provide enough energy to power the PSC and its external HDD so that makes the PSC to not recognize the external HDD, but if so, why does it sometimes work?
@esmith13 said there was nothing to worry about as long as the power supply was 5V only, not QC (like my previous power supply, which I didn't even try). Maybe it's not a decent power supply?
EDIT 2: Now, when turning off the PSC with the external HDD connected to it, the PSC turns on immediately afterwards. Also, the external HDD stopped working because the PSC doesn't blink (so, it doesn't recognize AutoBleem) and even two PCs say to insert a disk when double-clicking it in File Explorer. I find it odd that this external HDD stopped working when I bought it April last year.
EDIT 3: I bought another 2.5" 1 TB USB 3.0 external HDD and the PSC always recognized it (so, AutoBleem successfully boots) so I don't have to take the OTG cable from the PSC's Micro USB port and put it back (maybe the previous external HDD sucked since it had that problem from the start). Also, this external HDD turns off some seconds after turning off the PSC unlike the other (again, maybe the other external HDD sucked since it also had that problem from the start) but since it still automatically turns on if connected to the OTG cable and with the latter connected to the PSC's Micro USB port and the PSC's adapter still makes a noise when turning off the console with the external HDD connected to the OTG cable, I only connect the external HDD to the OTG cable when I want to run AutoBleem. I just hope this external HDD lasts longer than the other since the latter didn't even last a year.
