I've tried...
1. Different devices in this slot
2. All other USB slots on the device work
3. Completely removing power & USB connections from the hub, rebooting system & replugging.

Suggestions?

Looks like I bought this item from MP3car back at the end of March, barely over 5 months ago.

I would repeat those steps on another computer and also try some other devices...just to be 100% certain it is a faulty port.

a cable can work?

have you tried it on a different computer? sometimes USB drivers get confused at the OS level.

I have an issue with my p5USB not even turning on. There i 12v going to bolth the hot wires and its grounded good, tested with the multimeter and power is getting to the mole connector fine. I turn it on and get nothing, no lights or anything. Its a brand new unit, never used.

Any idea?

You must have the p5usb plugged into a host device before it gets power. Also please see the technical documentation on the first three links of the product description here if you haven't already.

THanks! THat advice made me double check my USB cable and it looks like I had a bad one. Replaced it and all is good.

How do I get this 12v hub to power on without supplying it an upstream USB connection? I.e. I want it to turn on when +12v is sensed on the Acc wire.
