This probably isn=92t going to be of much use to you but I thought I=92d
re=
late
any.  Over the holiday period my Belkin 4 port powered USB hub broke =96 it
actually melted where the power supply entered!  I don=92t know what
caused=
it
=96 it was tucked away behind my desk so maybe it overheated?  Belkin
produ=
cts
have a lifetime guarantee but I needed to replace it pretty quickly.=20=20

=20

All my local Maplin shop had was this http://tinyurl.com/bwjy4.  It was
ideal as it gave me more ports but I didn=92t pay =A334.99 for it!  I can=
=92t find
my receipt just now but I=92m pretty sure I got it for =A319.99 in the
shop=
.

=20

As I said probably not much use to you but it shows that even the well
know=
n
makes can go wrong so maybe an =A38.99 is just as good=85
