hi
i have just brought this item off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170238040117
and it works fine but there is a socket for an dc adaptor on the side which i didnt get with the hub.. i have a mulit volt adaptor that would work with it but i think you need to know whether to put the tip on + or - and i have not got a clue which way to put it.. there is no instructions
can anyone help please

If I had to gamble on that, I'd choose positive tip, as almost every electrical appliance I've ever seen that has a DC power adaptor was that way round.
If that's wrong, there's a fair chance that it's reverse polarity protected, and if not, you're only down £4.50!0
