Thanks for this. I had a similar problem with an anker lipstick usb power pack. It had the same led power switch that turned off if there wasn't enough of a current. I had been racking my brain about how to fix this. Mine is different from yours because it only has one usb port. Because of this I didn't think I would be able to use your usb fix. However, a friend who was helping me suggested using a usb splitter and hooking up the flash drive to that to draw power. I'm hoping that this will work and I won't have to scrap my system I setup.
