Comment on Will there be power issues if I plug an unpowered USB hub into a powered on or vice versa

I have seen dead hubs, but I have never seen one with such fuses.

Many have PTC or poly fuses that can self reset, so a port may briefly stop working. Some are built into the hub ICs or are in the form of a surface mount resistor
