Jul 20, 2006 11:12AM PDT

We had a major storm and power out for 2 days. All computer is plugged into a power surge protector. Now that the power is on a message keeps coming up Power surge on hub port. I have nothing plugged into a USB port. and when I do plug something in Camera or ipod it does not recognize it. what could be wrong, also I have no volume now either not sure what this is. I am not a computer novice so not sure what to do.

thanks
