Power surge on hub port
When plugging in my SANSA, which I have been doing for over 3 years now, I am getting the "power surge on hub port" message. What is this and why is it just now starting? It is not only my Inspiron B130, but my wife's also (not sure what model, but it is a dell).

I don't know why you're getting the message out of the blue, when you haven't had any problems for years, but the way to overcome it, is to buy a (mains) powered USB 2.0 hub for each of the laptops :emotion-55:
They're not particularly expensive, and can be purchased from any number of sources - i.e. Newegg, Amazon etc.
You'll probably be able to find cheaper models by shopping around, but here's just one example: Aluratek AUH0204 - Hi Speed USB 2.0 4 Port Hub with Power Adapter - $20.60 :emotion-5:
