Hub started humming

Tuning in

My VM hub has recently started making an annoying humming noise. Had it a couple of years, it hasn’t been moved and it’s been fine till now. Does it need replaced?

Is it the Hub or the power supply?  Older power supplies can deteriorate over time and start to hum.

Hi, thanks for that. It seems to have done the trick!  I unplugged the hub, turned it over, gave it a few taps and blew into the underside to hopefully dislodge any trapped dust and so far it seems to have worked. 
No more humming. (For now anyway🤣)

Thank you

Hi, thanks for your response. It was definitely the hub and not the power supply that was humming. I powered it off and blew into the underside to dislodge any dust and that seems to have solved it for now. 

Hey annemac12,

Have you been able to try this advice that my colleague offered to try and resolve the issues with your hub?

Kind Regards,
