Hi Guys, need help with powering a usb card reader.
I've done a PC table mod, i used a internal card reader as speaker stand.

When i connected it by extending thru ribbon cable, the PC is unable to detect USB pen drives, & card readers, it shows "USB device unrecognized"
Only XBOX 360 controller works, SD cards fail to connect.
So i understand this is "power supply to card reader" issue, but i want to know how to solve this problem.
Can i connect the 5v header from other (front panel usb port) motherboard USB header to the card reader's?
Is it safe to do so, or would i be blowing the whole m/b?
