Customer Review: Defective Product - cant make lemonade outa this lemon
Summary: 1 Stars
From the reviews seen here it sounded like a good product and knowing belkin I was hoping it was built with somewhat decent quality.
When I got mine in it looked fine apart from the white housing part is slightly askew (tried pushing it together to see if it was just loose but seems it is permanently off).
When following all the instructions to the letter i was wondering why it wasnt working. I was testing this on my iMAC 21.5inch intel(snow leopard)and what happens is that it gives me this error saying its drawing too much power. HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN ITS SUPPOSED TO BE POWERING ITSELF WITH THE POWER CABLE?
Well after looking it over I realized that the power port on the back of the hub itself is made poorly or well must've been a monday batch since the power cable does NOT fit snugly or well enough into the port so that it actually powers the unit. The thing just goes in and any minute movement will jostle the cord and make it slip out or not sit straight in the port. Maybe the power port is just not functioning but oh well.
Later I tried to salvage the situation by using just the hub without the power cable to at least function as a simple usb dock to power thumbdrives and keyboard to free up space on the imac. Lo and behold the thing STILL gave me the error with usb device is drawing too much power! I only had a keyboard attached to it and I even plugged the keyboard into the USB to test if the problem was the keyboard but it worked fine. Seems this belkin was just a POS.
I expected more from belkin but I guess someones gotta get the lemons once in awhile. Too bad this thing is only 15$ and probably not worth shipping all the way back from Hawaii for a refund.
Next time i think ill just buy one of these from a brick and mortar shop so i can easily return it if i get another lemon.
