 Perhaps the Targus has a short?


 - Maybe, the light came on on the Targus



  So, I then plugged the Targus into one of the UB port on my G4 Quickilver
 (OS X 10.4.11) and now that one seems to not be working.


 You took a hub with a problem and plugged it into your Mac?  Wow. Um
 Not a good plan.


 - I didn't know it had any issues. The 4 PORT USB 2.0 HUB I first plugged
 it into has recently had the second of its ports stop working. I thought
 this may be the issue (a port having died)



  Will a reboot of this Mac fix this issue?


 If the OS shut down the port because it sensed some problem, then yes - a
 reboot should restore it, IF it managed to shut it down before the port
 fried.  If the OS did that then there will be a message in the system log.

 - Where would I find this info?


 I had to reboot (well, while I was at the store the power went out and came
back on) and so I shut down, plugged in the Targus and it is working fine.
No idea what happened earlier.
