Hi there.
I connected a powered 4-port USB hub to my macbook and it stopped working. Then I discovered that the power adapter for the hub was a 12 volt adapter.
When I start the Macbook it spins up for a second and then dies. At the same time the screen briefly flashes on - then nothing.
Have I damaged something by connecting an over-powered USB hub?
Is there a remedy for this, such as some form of reset, without having to send it to Apple to replace cooked parts?
Thanks.
