Sounds like it is time to toss the flaky old USB hub and get an new
one for $7.

Not true. I recently (within the past 6 months) acquired two of the same
model ASUS motherboards (P5NE-SLI). One was assembled in Taiwan, one was
assembed in China.

I was thinking the same thing, but it sounded too simple. ;-) I
found one model I liked (seven-ports, two on top) so bought a
spare, just in case. I can't even buy the wall wart that came with
it for $7.

$7? Where can you get it for $7?

There are usually price breaks for products after which the rise in
price is almost logarithmic. 4-port USB hubs are most common and
probably where you get the best price break per port. Of course,
popular branding will cost you.

A self-powered 4-port USB hub (which obviously includes the power
adapter) starts at $5 (and Iogear is an okay brand). A 7-port USB hub
(for a brand that I've heard of) runs about $20. It's just like CPUs:
you'll find a sweet price break afterwhich the jumps in price far
outstrips the meager increase in speed.

Sounds like you're trying to replace both USB hubs with one.
