Superhub Superhub plug noise

justasking92 · 24-04-2015, 15:27

Hello I have a Super hub and I recently changed my PC to be quieter with new case and quieter fans/power supply so its essential makes no noise now ,but I am now hearing a high pitched squeaking time noise.

At first I thought it was coming from my PC and was getting really upset that some of my new parts would have coil whine but than I moved my power sockets to get behind my PC and noticed it was coming from my superhub plug.

Is this normal for the superhub plug? it is a very annoying noise when you don't have any sound

Yes it's quote normal for the SH plug PSU to make a high pitched noise. Not much you can do about it though.

Apart from getting a new PSU or a superhub v2

Is there anyway to get the V2? Or is it a paidupgrade

If they see the noisy PSU as a fault then it'll be a free swapout, but they will only swap if there is an issue. My SH1 was swapped out due to an intermittent network fault that kept bumping up the latency (think broadband graphs were showing no black just green/blue/yellow and red)

Weird thing is though that they've just sent me a new SH2AC to replace the SH2 with my new TV box

That reminds me need to update TBB graph with new IP

Short it until it breaks then claim it killed itself.

Assisted suicide is still illegal in this country.

I thought they were supposed to be looking at changing the law.

Which will hopefully be replaced by an UberDud.

Another option is to check the power supply's specs (voltage and amps) and see if you have another unit spare from an old router or other equipment. Just make sure that the specs match perfectly if you do.

Back of the SH says 12v 1.5amps. You'll need a regulated power supply that can deliver at least 1.5amps if you're going to substitute it.

For what my opinion is worth, only no noise from the source plugged into the mains is acceptable.

Once you've reported this in the VM forums, they'll not want to take a chance on being liable for your house burning down. But they may only send you a new PSU.
