Symptoms of this problem include unusual behaviour with devices connected to the USB hub such as devices detaching and attaching as well as the occasional complete failure to attach. Particularly bad offenders are servo controllers. There are 2 solutions to this problem, you can either contact us and send the device in for modification. Or you can make the modifications yourself provided you have the equipment and the ability to solder small components.
