Dead MacBook M1 after Using USB-C Multiport Hub Adapters/Docks

What exactly did Apple do to fix this issue? Are they blocking all third-party USB hubs? Did they fix something in MacOS that was causing the power issue? I've purchased probably ~15 third-party USB hubs and now am concerned about upgrading those machines to 11.2.2.

As far as I know, they did not block any USB-C hubs. I updated both my Mac mini M1 and my 3 MacBook Air M1s and they are all working with USB-C hubs, adapters, etc. I just don't feel like trying PD yet.

Hi Everyone,

I Just Bought MacBook Air 2020 M1 Week Ago.

I Bought ( UGREEN USB-C Multifunction Adapter ) For To Connect My iPhone XR, Data USB And Ethernet Cable With My MacBook Air 2020 M1.

I Have Question That Can I Use Third Party USB Hub To Only Connect My Phone Or USB..?

I Don't Want To Use It For Charging My MacBook Only Want To Use It To Connect My iPhone XR And Data USB.

Plz Suggest Me About This I Don't Want To Kill My MacBook.

I am also using a MacBook Pro with a Ugreen dock but I never had to face this kinda issue!but herd about it that some people faced to this! however i don't charge my MacBook through it..I only use it for connect my monitor and external hard

Did you experience other issues with the ports?

I had the same thing happen to my Macbook Air M1, and ultimately got a replacement. Now one of my USB-C ports is totally dead after hardly using the device at all. Really not looking forward to getting another replacement.

*A response to those faulting Apple.*

Hardware failure related effects are different for each person. My rub is the expense of my attention momentarily involuntarily directed to the entirely uninteresting and unprofitable. So, I 'feel the pain' however, to assert Apple's responsibility for damages resulting from electrifying their hardware with foreign power sources of infinitely variable material quality and design is baseless³, and quite honestly, irresponsible.

I would think, and I sincerely hope Apple rejects all above related claims as I do not want to subsidize yet another perverse incentive.

They’re already accepting all claims for damage and have even updated the OS to solve the problem...so I guess you are already subsidising Apple’s ‘perverse’ incentives. Well done.

Sorry to expend your so valuable attention.

I can really tell u a fun solution that worked on me... when my new m1 macbook pro was dead... i tried every solutions..in the end nothing works..

But Today i jst a got a magnet that kids used to play.. in my hand.. and i used to move the magnets all along my keyboard speakers etc.. and tried turn on.. and i plugged in and tried again to move the magnets i have ..all along the my macbook😁..suddenly my mac turned on 🥰😍 ..... i dont know y this happened .... Anyway I am so happy..😍 tht my mac turned on again after a week of dead days☺️

Not the same issue we are having. Also not sure why you would put magnets on a laptop anyway. Best guess is your battery was dead or you tripped the Hal sensor with the magnet.

I really don’t think magnets will harm these computers (solid state) but still would no do it.

Hi. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is it only the Power Delivery types of hubs that I need to be worried about?

Thank you.

Hi Sir Lancaster. Thanks for that info. Appreciate the feedback.

What about the apple's own usb C hub?

Yeah I just did the same - plugged my 7-yr-old MacBook Air into a new RavPower PD, using a new Anker thunderbolt-to-USB C adapter. It is draining my MacBook instead of charging it!

Seem to have the same issues... I’m testing it now but not using PD. So far so good.
