  Storage forum: Power Surge on hub port Dell Inspiron by: kenzoid89 May 14, 2013 8:23 AM PDT Share Like this 0 people like this thread Staff pick Resolved question Power Surge on hub port Dell Inspiron by kenzoid89 - 5/14/13 8:23 AM I have a Dell 5110 with a 4 GB flash inserted. Recently I got a message indicating that there was a power surge on a USB hub port and I should click "Reset" then remove the flash drive. I did this but now none of my USB ports appear to work. I tried the drive that was originally inserted on another laptop and it appears to work fine. That drive had been inserted in my Dell 5110 for over a year with no problems. Any ideas ?
