I am sending this question here, even though it relates to
a couple of iMacs, as in reality it's USB which is the subject

I have just seemingly killed (?) two Bondi iMacs by plugging
a powered USB hub in.
Prior to using the hub, they both worked fine, now they
won't start up at all

Did you have the computer on when you plugged it in? Sometimes with

When I worked at a computer store and USB first came out, I was told
by an Intel rep that powered hubs should be plugged in when the
computer is off. I have followed this info since 1997, and recommend

fine to hot plug.

To the best of my knowledge (and I have studied electronics
at Uni for 4 years) a powered hub simply boosts the signal out
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.
Obviously there might be something

Yes, Cuda saves the day!!!
Acts as if nothing happened...
I will now be testing the hub a bit more in depth

The CUDA switch does function as a reset switch but they're not the
same. The external reset switch just restarts the computer like
command-control-power key.

$33.95 for the semi self-powered hub (supposed to host 2 normal low-power
