Hi, im getting a power surge through my usb ports and its blowing my usb modem (ive been through 3) are there any usb power surge adaptors or something similar i can put between my usb port and Modem to stop this happening.

You have a fault somewhere do you know what it is, I dont
know if a ups will make any difference (Uninteruptable Power Supply)
if you do a google search you might get some ideas as to what a ups does.

Sounds like your modem is buggered...

What modem you using hardwrae wise... internal 56k .. external 56k.. external broadband?

hmmm are you sure that its your usb ports surging never heard that before? you sure its not following storms that your modems break? i suppose if you are confident it usb power surge you could buy an externally supllied usb hub that may work?

Have to agree with NellyLock on are you sure its your usb port surging....I've had a few modems die on me, ok they have been isa or pci (internal) but this has occured after storms.

Have you a surge protection unit which covers your telephone line as well as your plugs? if not its defo worth getting one.
