I can't find the thread right now, but maybe you remember when I
complained the USB SSD wasn't working, and we pretty much agreed it was bccause it used quite a bit of power and was plugged in a non-powered
hub (with 4 outputs, one of which was a USB Speaker)
So now I plug the USB SSD into the laptop directly and all is fine.
Well, tonight the external mouse stopped working. The laser didn't
light up and the cursor wouldn't move and the buttons did nothing.
Changing ports on the hub didn't help.
But Device Manager said it was working.
Boy is it incomvenient to work without a mouse. Some things are
impossible.
I dug up another mouse and the laser flashed when I turned on the switch
in the hub but then it went dark, exept one time that it stayed lit.
(this Dell mouse was something else. The scroll wheel was rotting,
making it hard to turn the wheel!)
Finally I thought about the hub and plugged the mouse into the laptop
direcly and all was well. Put back the original mouse.
But bear in mind I've used this hub at least since January 2021, and had
fcr most of this time had plugged in the mouse, the keyboard and the USB speakers, just as today, and all of it worked.
No one thinks a mouse uses a lot of current.
IOW the Sabrent hub is failing, and not entirely at one time. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/24/us/baltimore-bridge-collapse-lawsuit-settlement.html
With individual lighted power switches. But I don't think it's the switches. At least they turn the corresponding light on and off.
I don't feel cheated but I wanted to warn you that what to me was likely invulnerable, wasn't.

So I went shopping for a replacement, and decided to watch the videos
for the one I was replacing.
10 short videos on Amazon!! and one pointed out that I can attach a
power adapter. There's a tiny hole with no markings that I never
noticed. And it's not mentioned on the box, and only 3 of the 10
mention it, and one of those because the version he was reviewing had an included power adapter, and the third was a different model. One guy
says he likes that it's not powered, and the video is so good I can see
the hole.
Maybe I'll find a power adapter and see if everything works with it
But bear in mind I've used this hub at least since January 2021, and had
Also, one of the video reviewers said his only lasted 2 years.
Another one says he's had it 5 years and runs 2 video led light panels
off it for the videos he makes.
C'est la vie.

Could be Polyfuses or switches worn out.
You call it a hub but it could be something else.
Try pasting that URL again :-)

Um. It has a hole ? And you weren't using an adapter ?
And you were attempting to run drives off it ???
