Thats not the same thing.  The power source of a device is fixed. I don't
think you can view the active/inactive state of the port power.

Does unplugging & replugging the device resurrect it?

Do the video card and USB controller share an interrupt?

You might poke -mobile. T41s seem common, but also have lots of problems
