Re: USB device has malfunctioned and exceeded the power limits of

Computer power of durring device plug-in is a serious risk. The next time it
may not power on at all!

I use my old automatic power supply as a power source for various electronic
experiments. If I short circuit two wires, the built-in protection will
power it off immediately. Then I have to unplug the power cable for a few
seconds and it's ready to work again.
It's most probably either cable break-down or device break down. Can You ask
Apple for waranty services?
