Acumowchek Blink Registered: 12/29/07 Posts: 1851 Loc: Petaluma, CA	So last night I hooked up a USB hub and rewired everything to a new surge protector. Everything works, but my keyboard died. I tried plugging it in every possible port, tried unplugging the USB hub aaaaand� nuthin'. Did I somehow fry my keyboard? Has anyone else ever have a keyboard go bad?

Acumowchek Blink Registered: 12/29/07 Posts: 1851 Loc: Petaluma, CA	Everything else is working. 2 External HD, printer, wacom tablet, microphone, etc. I've plugged the keyboard into every USB port I can think of (Apple display, back of the Mac, USB hub�) with no luck. PowerMac G5 1.8 Rebooted dozens of times. Edited by Acumowchek (12/15/10 11:20 AM) Edit Reason: Reboot
