Static and a PowerMate

[pEZ]

I have a Griffin PowerMate. I little while back, when the air was drier, I severely zapped itwith static, and it looked like I had killed it. I unplugged it from the USB port and tried a different port, and the PowerMate turned out to be fine. The USB port it was plugged into at first, however, seems to be fried - nothing plugged into that particular port works now.

Any suggestions as to how to fix it, or should I just plug in a hub and let it go?

No suggestions at all?

Is the machine in question under warranty? If so, Apple may fix it for you.

Thanks for the warning, though. I'll be a little more careful using my PowerMate now.

unfortunately, no. My iMac was under warranty until April, but i couldn't get it to a service center/apple store before then.

I would just get a USB hub and only use the working USB port from now on.

Static's a bitch, ain't it?
