OSX 10.9.1 - DisplayLink 2.1 - No LED. But sometimes it works?

I've since got a replacement unit sent out to me by the Amazon seller, which was easily done.

Plugged it in, turned on, all good. I notice a couple of minor differences with the previous device itself (green LED instead of a blue LED like the previous version?, etc)

Less than 24 hours on, and its done the same thing again - its doing nothing.

LED isn't turning on, nothing in System Profiler. Absolutely nothing.

Am I doing something wrong here? Or are all these adapters junk?!

I've used it for a total of about 1.5 hours, if that.

Feel like giving up completely and selling the additional monitor I bought for this exact purpose. And if I have to return again, that's yet another ££ to the Post Office for the returned item.

Any advice? Help? Please?
