Hi all...
I've got a hub and the transformer burned up. So as a replacement I got the type that has multi-value for the volts, ie from 0 to 12v. My hub uses 5v, but the transformer has only 4.5 and 6v. I put the dial about between the two. It works, but is this good? It also works when I set it at 6v, but could this be too much? Any ideas?
Thanks

Try it on 4.5. If it works, leave it there. Are you sure that the knob does vary the voltage continuously between the 4.5 and 6.0 setting? If it does, the middle is OK. 6V is probably OK too, just feel the hub and see if it gets too warm. How did the old transformer burn up? Too much load on it?
