USB Ports stopped working - Vista Home Premium (32bit)

I reloaded Windows Mobile Device Center yesterday.  When I got home and booted my computer, all 3 USB Ports and the card reader do not work.  There is power, but no use of the device.  I have read several help posts on this and I have attempted to fix without success.  The one thing I keep reading is the USB Root Hub.  I do not have this in my device manager.  I have uninstalled all of the Universal USB Controllers in attempt to allow Windows to install the drivers.  I am getting a Code 39 error and it says the system cannot locate the preconfigured driver folders.  I cannot use a mouse, printer, or sync my phone without the use of my USB Ports.  Can anyone please help me?

Hello,
I recently bought a Pavilion dv6-6c11sa laptop. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Everything was working fine for about a week, and then yesterday all of the USB ports stopped working. I have 4 USB ports in total, two 2.0 and two 3.0. No matter what peripheral device I plug in, mouse or flash drive etc, they're not recognized by the laptop. The lights don't even light up on the devices, regardless of the port. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers in device manager, taking out the battery and rebooting, installing the chipset drivers (AMD), nothing works. No programs had been installed 3 days prior to the occurence, although I had rebooted several times in that time frame. I simply booted up the laptop yesterday, and nothing worked.

    I have the following system and want to run Elements12 or 13 efficiently; Vista Home Premium 32bit, Intel core 2duo [email protected], 3 GB RAM DDR2, Mobo MSI MS-7267 and on-board graphics chipset. I tried to run Elements9 and was rather slow so you can imagine Elements12 or 13..... Do I have to change the whole system or just buy a suitable VGA card? Which card would be OK for this system? Thanx..

    I think that the key here is going from a 32 bit to 64 bit computer operating system where Premiere Elements 11, 12, or 13 can become 64 bit application in a Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit computer operating system. The increased computer resources implication of that should increase the frequency of getting the larger project taken to a successful complete more than before. A lot of this has to do with multitasking potential.
    Premiere Elements does not support CUDA as seen in high end video cards/graphics cards. Since Premiere Elements 9, Premiere Elements has no GPU accelerated effects. But, I would decide on the best card for you based on overall computer rather than just for use in Premiere Elements. If you are interested in computer games, that will impact your card decision.
    The use of a non super NVIDIA or ATI card should work for you. But, I have used neither.
    I would consider more installed RAM, depending on your computer motherboard slots.
    You might want to discuss the choice of the card with NVIDIA.

    My desktop and laptop computer both use the integrated Intel HD Graphics where my strengths included installed RAM, free hard drive space, and computer processor.

  • A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

    A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?  Obviously the device is operational.  Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn?  If so, is it reparable?

    It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
    That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

  • 1 of 2 USB ports stopped working after 10.7.2 upgrade

    I have the newest Macbook Pro.  I upgraded to 10.7.2 today and immediately after, 1 of my 2 usb ports stopped working.   Thought it may be the cable, so I switched cables.  Tried plugging in my iPhone, my portable drive and nothing.   Both work on the other port though.   Both ports worked fine before the update. 
    I've rebooted 4x. 
    Suggestions?

  • One usb port stopped working today

    One of my USB ports stopped working today. I think it may be related to Itunes update today. Has anyone else seen this recently? I restarted my computer - but that didn't help. I have a MacBook Pro - running Lion 10.7.5
    Any suggestions? I saw one USB Hub when I went to Apple --> About this Mac, but couldn't tell if both were there.

    My iPod also does not show on the desktop but it is recognized in iTunes,  Check if that is the case for your MBP. 
    Do you have the appropriate boxes checked in Finder Preferences?

  • My USB ports stopped working. So did my dvd drive. I have a Pavillion Laptop. Model 1245dx.

    My USB ports stopped working.  Do did my DVD drive.  I did do a Windows update yesterday.  Any ideas out there?  I can't use my mouse or printer.  Help!

    Try a windows system restore, pick a date before the windows updates were installed.

  • I have a Pavillion dvd Model 1245dx. USB ports stopped working. How can I fix this?

    My USB ports stopped working.  So did my DVD drive.  Any ideas how to fix this?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time ▹ Time Zone
    Check the box marked
              Set time zone automatically using current location
    if it's not already checked. If the box is checked, uncheck it and then check it again. Test.
    If the correct location and time zone aren't shown in the preference pane, then either Wi-Fi is turned off, or you're not within range of a network in the Location Services database. Under those conditions, the computer can't determine your location.
    Credit for this idea to ASC member Easyas314.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Maps
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
             Services ▹ Reveal in Finder
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.Maps" selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the folder you moved. The list of recent places displayed in Maps will be lost.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Satellite P850 - right hand USB ports stopped working

    I have a new Satellite P850, after a short period the two right hand usb ports stopped working, I only had a wireless mouse plugged into them at the time. Is there a reset for these ports, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no change.
    Any one have any thoughts.

    First of all, I don't think you should have done that.
    The solution, either a full system recover (probably not necessary) or reinstall the drivers manually. Since they are USB 3.0 (I guess for what I googled about the P850) they use different drivers (specially if we are talking about the sleep and charge ones) so go ahead and download them from toshiba website, that should solve it...

  • HP Compaq d530 SFF not recognizing DIMMs. Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit - BIOS version 02.44

    Hello HP community!
    I recently received a HP Compaq d530 SFF, from the company, where I had my work experience.
    I gladly took their offer and took the PC home, all was going well until I bought myself some new DIMMs, from ebuyer.com.
    I new for a fact, the computer needs DDR 333MHz, PC2700 and it had to be in DIMM format, so I went and bought 3x1GB modules. A few days later they arrived and I inserted them into the computer, making sure that two DIMMs were in the blue slots, and the others (I wanted to keep a 256MB module in) in the black slots.
    I re-inserted the power cable and tried to boot the PC, it showed me a BIOS message, showing the amount of memory had changed, since the last boot. Once the configuration showed up, it only recognized the 256MB module. I then powered down the computer, to then remove the 256MB module, to see what would happen. I then rebooted the PC and it gave me an error tone (No picture). To which I then (rotatingly) tried each different DIMM, to see if one of them was defect. They all gave me the same error tone. Since then, I have been running Windows Vista Home Premium, with 1GB (4x256MB DIMM).
    Does anyone maybe have a suggestion, how to solve this problem?
    I have already updated the BIOS version to 02.44 (Latest I could find).
    Thanks in advance!
    Yours sincerely Simon Cahill

    Not all memory is the same, even when picking PC2700. Did you purchase non-ECC?

  • Thinkpad W530 Yellow (Rear) USB port stopped working

    I have had my W530 for about 3 month and the rear yellow USB port just stopped working a few days ago. I have recovered the whole system to factory status and updated the BIOS but the USB port is still not working. I tried several devices, it seems like that the USB has no power at all. The LED on the flash drives do not come on when I plug it in. All the other USB ports are working. Has anyone encountered the same problem before? Any help is appreciated.

    Hi all,
    The yellow USB port of my W530 stopped working suddenly today. It can charge but cant recognize any devices. The other devices work well. I have tried many ways like updating the bios, setting the bios to defaults... still not working.
    seems that its a big issue 
    Any ideas? Thank you!

  • MAC PRO Internal USB ports stopped working

    Hello, I have a mac pro 8 core with an USB internal ports problem, the 2 in front are not working anymore, and from the 3 in the back only the middle one is working.
    I tried to pull all the power out for a whole night, resetting the pram and nvram but nothing helps.
    When for example I put in a keyboard in one of the ports that is not working and when I power up the machine and I press the ALT key I get the choice of startup preferences, once I select one, and the system boots up the ports stops working, so before the OS loads the usb ports are working !!!
    What to do ??

    This is a hardware failure. While USB ports on the whole are just not designed very well, leading to their failures being pretty common, your issue sounds a bit more like the USB controller chip is failing.
    In any case, the answer is to take it to a repair shop. If they're smart about it, they'll replace the logic board and see if that also fixes the front ports. If not, they'll replace the front I/O panel as well.
