iPhone 3GS USB charger drawing too much power from Pre-Unibody Macbook Pro?

[ajdb9]

Hi
Just tried to plug my iPhone 3GS into the USB charging cord (which has worked fine for 1.5 years), and got the attached message.
"USB Over Current Notice: A USB device is currently drawing too much power. The hub to which it is attached to will be deactivated"
I tried removing it from the right-hand port and putting it in the left-hand one, same message appeared.
(Wasn't sure if this belonged here or in the iPhone forum, but figured since the error message was on the Mac, I would post here - hope it's right!)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Xander

Is the USB cord defect?
Try using a wall charger and if it doesnt charge, take it to Apple Store...
