USB Hub not working

Pete · Sat 17 Dec, 2005 12.24

My delightful little Belkin USB 2.0 4 port hub has stopped working. It was working fine until I reformatted last night but now it claims "code 10 - the device cannot start".

Any ideas how to make it start working again?

yes well after some research I've discovered the problem with it is that it's crap. So back it goes

Belkin - Isn't that Argos's own brand for shitty and over-priced computer accessories?

well i got it in WHSmith. It was lying around in the stock room and said £24.99 on the "NOW" label and scanned through at £4.99.

Wrong driver usually.

Anyway Belkin isn't as good as it used to be IMO, they seem to have lost their crown of quality by releasing a whole bunch of crappy equipment in all fields.

No - it's not Argos's own brand. But it is a brand "for shitty and over-priced computer accessories".
