USB Hub killed two Macs... ???

2005-02-28 Thread Larry le Mac
I am sending this question here, even though it relates to a couple of iMacs, as in reality it's USB which is the subject and not iMac. I have just seemingly killed (?) two Bondi iMacs by plugging a powered USB hub in. Prior to using the hub, they both worked fine, now they won't start up at all.

Did you have the computer on when you plugged it in? Sometimes with powered hubs you are not supposed to plug them in when the computer is on. If it really did fry them, I would call and ask for the company to pay for the damage, because that is unacceptable. Ben On Feb 28, 2005, at 8:44 AM,

When I worked at a computer store and USB first came out, I was told by an Intel rep that powered hubs should be plugged in when the computer is off. I have followed this info since 1997, and recommend it to anyone who buys a powered hub. Regular USB perhipials are just fine to hot plug. Ben On

To the best of my knowledge (and I have studied electronics at Uni for 4 years) a powered hub simply boosts the signal out to the connected devices, and can be used as an unpowered hub with the PSU unplugged. It should not affect the computer end of the hub. Obviously there might be something

If you get a G4 powerbook, iMovie and Garageband will fly. Upgrading the HD to a 5400 is fairly simple, but what is even easier is to get an external Firewire drive and use that. This easier, and makes taking data elseware a breeze. Just make sure you have AT LEAST 768 Megs of memory when trying
