Hi,

Odd one. I was fiddling about on a PC via remote trying to get a USB hard disk to initialize. At one point I tried removing the USB root hub after which a buzzing started from the USB drives transformer. A minute later it popped and died, very hot, cable nearly melted.

Are the two events connected, can uninstalling the USB hub fudge up the power delivery?

Grateful for enlightenment.

Kind regards,

David

no, it was probally a fault with your hub so it needs replacing obviously

I meant the driver, there isn't a physical USB hub
