I have this exact same problem.
Can someone tell me how to identify the bad cap? I can replace it myself, but I just don't know how to locate/identify it.

Thank you.

I'm too cheap. Wink

Not going to spend $100+ when I can replace a cap for pennies (*IF* I can find the little SOB! lol).

Thanks guys. I got rid of the noise. As per other poster's advice, I turned off the USB Hub power management and the noise stopped right away. Very pleased.
