Title: Fried USB Erupter Post by: liquiddrool on November 04, 2013, 02:02:31 AM Managed to burn one out plugging into some crappy USB hub. When I plug it into a USB port Windows doesn't detect it and it starts heating up as if it is hashing, but it's not doing anything. After about 45 seconds it is too hot to touch -- I've tried it on a couple different PCs and both do the same thing. Just warning you all avoid those junk hubs...and if anyone wants it for decoration or whatever else it's a silver colored one....

He might be able to refund you (not sure though).

Take pride in knowing that YOUR erupter will be utilized by someone else and may be on the photo of a newspaper, magazine, or facebook page someday. Be proud.
