ou may want to check your power settings for USB. Depending on what OS you're using, the USB ports may be disabled by the OS as a power saving feature. Under device manager (right click my computer, device/hardware manager) right click on your USB hubs and select properties. Then select the power management tab. Uncheck the box that says "allow the computer to turn off device to conserve power." Do this for every USB hub installed.

Another option may be just to use the rear USB hubs and not the front ones, which may draw less power.

As for the electrical outlet, I'd check to make sure connections are properly seated or talk to Kodak support about it. This is a common issue and points to a potentially serious design flaw in their USB charging design.
