To all of you having this issue, have you had your battery replaced recently?? Or car Jumped? Those two seem to be the culprits. I believe there is a fuse inside the USB HUB that gets blown. I've not had a chance to prove this but soon I will try to open the non functional usb hub and verify this.

You could very well have solved this for me!!

The symptoms sounds exactly the same - I'll have to see if i can find one of the USB modules in the UK hopefully without having to go to the Stealer.

Thanks Addy33.

I'll follow up to confirm it worked!

Well an update from me. Just checked, there is a fuse but it was NOT blown. Its a surface mount fuse. Another interesting titbit, the USB hub uses an ATMEL 43301-AU 4 Port Controller.

In any case, I am a bit at a loss since I don't have schematics but I have a general idea and all components seem to be functional. Maybe I'll replace the ATMEL chip as that seems to be the biggest thing on there.

Good luck
