problem with belkin usb hub?

i have an old belkin F5U221 2.0 4-port usb hub that i was recently using for my computer. It was working fine up until a week ago when we had a power outage and the next day when i started up my computer the belkin hub now shows up as an unknown device, i tried doing the hardware scan in device manager, tried updating the driver, even reinstalled XP and nothing seems to work. When i look at the properties it says No drivers are installed for this device. Should i just buckle down and get a new hub or does somebody have any suggestions? I haven't been able to find any drivers for this hub online and belkin doesn't list it on their site anymore.

    Sounds like the hubs still getting power through and sending messages to the PC, but ultimately I'd say the internals of the hub have been damaged.

    In my opinion time to splash out for a new one.
