Hi,

This I bought an APC usb 2.0 hub, plugged it in in the mini usb port and
inserted 2 usb printers, 1 external hd and a wireless keyboard and mouse in
the hub. Everything worked fine and instead of shutting down the Mac mini I
used the sleep mode.
After dinner I wanted to wake it up but couldn't. I tried to force shut it
by holding the power button for 10 seconds but nothing happened. I removed
the power supply adapter and noticed that therre still seemed to be some
current as the sleep mode light continued flasing for another 20 seconds.
Once it was off I let it stand for over a minute and then reconnected the
power supply and pressed the power button but nothing happens.
Unfortunately the warranty expired 2 months ago.

I would appreciate it if anyone has an idea as to what could have happened.

Thanks a lot,

Bernard

Was this a powered hub (i.e., you have a wall wart you plug in to power
the USB hub so it doesn't draw all its power from the Mini)? If not,
all those peripherals may have been drawing too much power from the Mini
USB port. Did you try unplugging the USB hub and then trying to reboot?
Hope this helps.

My G5 will not wake up from sleep if the keyboard is plugged into a hub.
I suspect that the hub is "turned off" when the computer is asleep. --
All the lights on the hub go out. Try plugging the keyboard directly
into the computer.
