Overheating (by 2 users)
posted by Chris80 on Oct 29, 2007
I use the hub to connect a scanner and printer at the same time to my Dell Inspiron 6000. Recently my scanner reported unable to conect to laptop - would not scan. I found that hub was very hot to touch. With hub taken out my scanner and printer work fine when plugged directly into my laptop.
Both scanner and printer have their own power (do not use power from USB port.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Chris

You could maybe have a bad USB hub or the Hub is in a very warm area...

We had a GE 7 port usb port and it overheated and melted----thank goodness I got up when I did or the house would have caught on fire. The only thing we had connected to the usb port was a APC battery backup unit. Any reason why the usb port overheated?
It was pugged into the battery backup unit and I am hesitant to rehook the computer up to the battery backup unit and also will not by another GE usb hub again and whatever hub we do use, I will not plug it into an outlet!
the computer was downstairs and I noticed the odor of electrical burning smell upstairs---the unit was bought nov 25, 2007 and we returned it to BJ'S for a refund today-----I do not reccomend this product to anyone.
