I am sending this question here, even though it relates to

Prior to using the hub, they both worked fine, now they

To the best of my knowledge (and I have studied electronics

to the connected devices, and can be used as an unpowered
hub with the PSU unplugged.
It should not affect the computer end of the hub.
