Sorry I can't make Philly, but I'd recommend you also purchase a different model USB hub as a backup.
I suspect both the USB power cable as top of my suspect list, and the USB hub itself a possibility. If you get a spare hub you can test with both a different cable and with a different hub.
I'm actually going to talk to my Programmer tonight about buying a new USB Hub, I don't think we're going to use our current one in Philly, unless I continue wearing it as a good luck charm. (I wore it around my neck for the Elims in Jersey and we ran every match after I put it on)
