after a month of using, only 3 of the ports are transferring data, in other words, the blue light on the side lights up, but all of them deliver power, Why?

It may be that your devices connected are drawing more power then the hub can handle. That happened to me when I plugged in more than five devices. I have ten things to power/data transfer, but I have to use two of these 10 port hubs. After about 2.5 amps (12.5 watts) of total draw, the hub is not reliable. Hope this helps.

Check if the power LED lights. Then check if all cables and the 11 pin adapter are good.

Not being able to see your problem, I can only suggest you try tightening all connections a little more. Sometimes that is all that is needed. Sorry I could not be of more specific help.

You may want think about re-installing it and make sure all connections are good. If not, return it for a new one.

I too just had this start up this past week. I've had to jiggle and reinsert the plug to see if the connection will take. My laptop is only a couple months old, so I'll be calling to see what my options are for fix or repair.

I really have no idea why. Mine has been working perfectly from the start. Good luck to you.

Each port has it's own power button. Make sure it is on for the port you are using. You can also try a different port on there.

Please check all the connections and replace with a new power supply. If the problem remains please send it back.Thanks!

I am using 12 of the 16 ports and it does not get hot. In fact it is barely warm at all

The 3 USB ports are not active at this time. A promise has been made, some time ago, that a future update will cure that. Many are doubtful they will ever be used. Recommend using the USB from any number of HDMI connected devices; and work around in that way.

I've had similar issues with connectivity, intermittently and usually for no discernible reason... It's literally worked in one outlet, but not the one right next to it or across the room a bit. I've never seen a purple light and didn't see anything about it in the instruction manual. I can say this... I've had two Belkin products (the extender and a regular router) go out within months of each other and under the warranty time. I spent 15 minutes trying to get them to honor it, while speaking with someone who couldn't understand me. I cut my losses and went with ASUS products. Sorry if this is not much of a help.

There are a couple of possible issues. First the switch may be bad but I doubt that given the fact that it works OK. The other issue is do you have anything else taking bandwidth from the incoming connection before it gets to the switch? Finally, there may be something in the computer itself that is drawing bandwidth such as a file transfer that is stealing bandwidth.

Check: 1. power cable, might be an open in the wire or plug. play around with it then plug it in; 2. the on/off switch could be bad; 3. power supply may have died. #'s 2 & 3 is going to require a tech, unless you have the equiptment to do continuity checks. Good luck.

Good question Rick...although I am not tech savvy I will say that there is a port in the side that has a three prong symbol if that means anything to you...sorry I could not be any more help to you.

I've found there is a delay when switching between ports. It goes black and there is usually a few second delay for my connection to be recognized then it will show on the screen.

I plugged mine in and did get a light, but the drive was never recognized by my computer. I suspect the problem is the disk drive.

I don't have an answer for you. My guess is your unit is "fried". I had two friends who had surge protector power strips, not Sidesocket, catch fire. I'm glad they were home!
