Esata Port and USB Ports Not working

My USB ports have not been working for a long time. They will charge my phone, but windows doesnt pick them up nor any other device I connect via any of the USB ports. I recently took my computer into a shop to have them fix a wire that had come undone
and asked them to look at my USB ports and figure out why they werent working. When I got it back they told me the USB ports were connected to the motherboard and to get them to work they would need to replace the motherboard. They said however that the Esata
port worked and I asked them if I could use that to connect my USB from my iPhone in order to connect to itunes. They said with an adapter it should work. So I bought the adapter and of course when I connect the USB in to it, the computer wont recognize the
device. I even tried connecting the USB directly into the Esata port and still nothing, but it will charge the phone, just not recognize it. 
Any advice would be much appreciated.
The computer is a Dell Inspiron N7010 running Windows 7

Hi,
Obviously, you can't connect USB directly into Esata port, for they are not compatible.
Attempt to install your phone usb driver and then check if it works.
If not, it should be related to your adater, not all adapters support data transfer.

  • Both internal and USB mics not working

    Hi there, all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Starting last night, I have been having issues with microphone use on my iBook G4. Neither the internal mic nor my USB headset mic (Altec Lansing AHS302USB) are accepting input.
    The internal mic's failure doesn't surprise me, as I have heard about the delicate nature of the wire connecting the internal mic from its position on the display down to the main computer. It's the USB mic that confuses me, since USB mics are what everyone seems to recommend that people use when the internal mic is on the fritz (thanks to other mics not working with Mac due to the line-in thing). Also there is the fact that I have used this headset with this computer for over a year with no significant issues until now, with both mics simultaneously failing.
    There doesn't seem to be a problem with the headset's wires; I am still able to hear audio through the headphones quite well, and when I load my audio recording program (Audio In) and Sound Preferences, I can see the occasional blip of sound recognition when I move the USB adapter portion around in the port. These blips even occur when the pink microphone jack and headphones jack are unplugged from the adapter, so this suggests to me that the problem lies not with the wires, but somewhere in the USB adapter, port, or the computer itself.
    I'm leaning toward the computer itself, since it just seems odd that both mics would just happen to stop working at the same time. That and the fact that audio output still works through the headset, and the USB ports work fine for other USB devices such as my external drive and iPod.
    I have tried restarting, resetting the PRAM, and repairing permissions with Disk Utility. Nothing's working so far.
    Does anyone have any idea what could possibly be wrong?
    For reference's sake, I took a recording of the sound that results from jiggling the USB headset adapter in the port. It's very quiet, so you may need to turn up the volume a little bit to hear it. Again, these are the ONLY sounds that the mic is able to pick up currently.

    Just to chime in here - I wonder if it's down to the software: I've recently updated to 10.4.10, and the internal mic seems to have stopped working.
    One positive effect of the change to 10.4.10 is that my Griffin iMic no longer flips to 8-bit, 22khz recording when I plug it in.
    Having said that, I really like to get my internal mic back up and running again.

  • Headphone jack and USB's not working.

    Hi
    I bought a 17.3" Envy 2 months ago. Up until today I have not had to use the headphone jack or either of the USB's on the right hand side of the laptop, however when i've come to use my turtle beaches today, they do not work.
    The USB slots also do not work with my mouse which works on the two slots on the left hand side of the laptop, and my earphones or sennheiser headphones do not work in the jack either. 
    What can you advise? 
    Thanks

    Hi @Tom30191 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having trouble with some usb ports and your audio jack. I am happy to help with this.
    I would start by refreshing/reinstalling the chipset drivers, for your notebook, and you may also want to try updating the BIOS from the same page, and see if it helps.

  • Why is my Intel iMac restarting randomly and USB keyboard not working randomly?

    My intel iMac has been randomly rebooting itself without any error messages.  It also seems to coincide with the keyboard (USB) not working, but not always.  At first, it seemed to happen right after waking the computer from sleep, but now it happens when I am just sitting at the computer about once or twice a day.  For now, i have temporarily removed all external devices (except time capsule) and disabled any bluetooth or iTunes synch'ing over wifi.  I have also disabled all power management features.
    I've tried different keyboards and resetting the SMC.  Could bad memory cause this?

    Could be anything from a loose power cable, to loose or bad RAM module.
    1. Check all your power connections, including the mag connector on the back of the iMac.
    2.  Reinstall the RAM modules, as per > iMac: How to remove or install memory. When installing new or reinstalling RAM, be sure to push firmly on each module with both thumbs to insure that they are fully seated in the slots.
    Then if it is still acting up...
    3. Run the > Extended Apple Hardware Test

  • Webcam and usb drive not working--possible hardware issue?

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a Lenovo ideapad U510 with Windows 8. I bought it as a returned machine but the Staples employee didn't know why it had been returned and thought it was just because the buyer didn't like Windows 8. When I first set it up I kept getting an error message that my usb device was not recognized, even though I had never plugged anything in. As I was leaving the country, I dismissed the issue and decided to deal w/ it when I returned to the US, since my other usb drives worked fine.
    However, later my integrated webcam stopped working as well. It worked one time when I used Skype but not after that. I checked online forums for possible solutions, and most said I needed to download an updated driver. I didn't think this was the issue b/c when I went to device manager and tried to update my driver for the easycam, it said I already had the most up-to-date driver. I have uninstalled drivers, downloaded and re-installed drivers, and even refreshed my computer, all to no avail.
    Here are the error messages I receive:
    In device manager>view>show hidden devices>imaging devices>Lenovo EasyCamera, device status says
    Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
    To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.
    When I try to run the Bison setup: Lenovo EasyCam has not found! 
    When I try to run the Chicony setup: Setup failed! Please Plugin camera and install driver again!
    So, I'm thinking it's not a driver issue, but I'm not a techie and don't know what else it could be. Wondering if the usb problem and webcam problem are connected. Found another forum post that said maybe the webcam is not connected to the motherboard...suggestions?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    I am certain it is a hardware issue from the problems youre describing. I would contact Lenovo. They may try to have you purchase their "software" support, but don't let them. I had wifi issues and they tried to make me spend $90 because I was too lazy to figure it out on my own.
    Make sure when you're calling support that you tell them that you restored to factory default and before you send your computer in, back up your data. Also tell them that it's a new computer and you do not want to pay for shipping... They will most likely comp you shipping in both directions.

  • Esata port not working

    Any ideas why my Fathom External HDD is not recognized using esata cable. I've just bought the Q700-3015 1IU. The driver is powered. I did however get it working via USB. Anyone know what could be wrong?

    For anyone else trying to find information on this issue, if you have a SATA hard drive installed, do NOT turn on AHCI swapping in the BIOS, it will result ina hardware error for your currently installed OS.
    So--no eSATA for the T410. What a waste of time and materials!

  • KT4 Ultra: FSB Setting for 2400+? and USB Keyboard not working

    I just picked up a KT4 and an Athlon 2400+ - What FSB setting should i pick to make the processor detect as a 2400 (currently w/ a setting of 133, it's detecting as a 2000+ 1.67ghz when it should be 2ghz.) - Is there some setting other than the FSB that i need to change?
    Also, when i try to use a USB keyboard, it doesn't work after POST.  I am able to use the keyboard to change the bios settings etc... but once POST is done, the keyboard doesn't respond, and every time you press a key, the numlock light flashes quickly. - This also causes all the other USB devices (mice, etc...) to stop working. - Everything is fine if i plug the same keyboard in via PS2, but unfortunatly, this isn't a good long term solution because i use a USB KVM switch.
    Any suggestions welcome!
    TIA

    Ok, the FSB thing is fixed, thanks for the help.
    As far as the kvm being incompatable, i thought of that, and tried plugging the keyboard directly into a usb port and got the same results.
    I have tried just about every setting i think would relate in the bios and none have seemed to help. ;(

  • AirTunes and USB printer not working?

    Hi there-
    This is probably (and hopefully) a simple problem to fix and I'm just being an idiot. Recently I moved and got myself an Airport Express to replace the Linksys that my old roommate took with her. It's been great, I got my network set up, I actually have a password now, everything. When I got it about a month and a half ago, I didn't have a printer or a way to plug my speaker to the Express, so I didn't bother with it.
    Now I have both, but when I plug the printer or the speaker into the Express neither work. iTunes recognizes my base station, but no sound comes out of the speaker, and Word knows that the printer is there but when I print I get an error message saying it's not connected. I'm not exactly sure what to do. Poking through troubleshooting or Help doesn't work, so I'm hoping that I can get an answer here.
    Thanks!

    Hello Abby Waysdorf. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Let's double-check your AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) settings ...
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network, or temporarily, connect directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, using the AirPort Utility (in Manual Setup), check the following settings:
    AirPort - Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Base Station Password: <enter the desired base station administrator password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the base station administrator password>
    o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)

    Once you verified that you can get Internet access for all of your computers, you should secure your wireless network. To do so, I suggest that you make these changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
    o Wireless Password: <enter your desired wireless network security password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the wireless password>
    o Click on "Update" to save the settings to the AX.

  • Network interface and usb device not working.

    hi everyone,
    I just installed Solaris 10 3/05 S10_74L2a x86
    on my home pc.
    My motherboard comes with an in-built ethernet port for networking.
    But after installing the OS, I can't access to the Internet (I logged in as root).
    Then I do an ifconfig -a command, I see only the loop interface, my ethernet port interface connected to my modem is missing.
    I also try to plug in a USB flash drive into my USB port but I cannot see what is inside my USB flash drive.
    I have done a devfsadm -v command for that added USB flash drive.
    anyone knows what go wrong?
    any help given will be greatly appreciated.
    thank you.
    good day :)

    But after installing the OS, I can't access to the
    Internet (I logged in as root).
    Then I do an ifconfig -a command, I see only the loop
    interface, my ethernet port interface connected to my
    modem is missing.Maybe your ethernet driver is loaded but not attached.
    Check device name with prtconf and see if your device
    is in /etc/drivers_aliases or not.
    I also try to plug in a USB flash drive into my USB
    port but I cannot see what is inside my USB flash
    drive.I had the similar problem before. First, check USB
    ports are "alive" (see ehci, uhci, ohci are correctly
    loaded and attached). If it's ok, insert you USB flash
    drive and restart vold with "pkill -HUP vold".

  • 4530s DC CARD or USB BOOT not working even if it has this option in bios

    i just posted a message but i think it's in the wrong section..
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-questions/sd-card-boot-and-usb-boot-not-working/m-p/9...
    Hi, i just got a HP ProBook  4530s , I5 processor, Intel HD 3000 , i have a problem with it, i can't boot on any usb or sd card, i tried all linux versions i could find and also some live windows and bartPE, on my sd card i get the "Disk read error" as soon as i choose the booting device and on usb it goes a little bit further i can see the linux logo some processes starting and then same error related to write on disk, the sd card and usb are not in read only mode and on my other laptop a older one 6730s everything works...
    Also all the usb and sd card work perfect in windows, when i boot from internal HDD.
    Is there a fix for it??  Or can anybody that has this laptop test if it works booting from usb or sd card, maybe it's a problem with this unit..
    i have tried all available bios verions and various usb devices but as i said the usb sticks all worked on my other laptop but not on this one.
    Oh and also is there a bios option to stop virus check on boot? as far as i could test that is the only option in bios that is not there and i can't test with it ON/OFF.. any help would be apreciated because i can return the laptop for 30 days and i allready have it for one week. and i really need this option to work.
    PS - sorry for my bad english but i'm from Europe

  • Touchsmart TX-2 fingerprint scanner and USB ports not working

    Hi everyone,
    Please forgive me if this is in the wrong spot.
    Just sent my laptop (Touchsmart TX-2 1015au) off for a warranty fix - told them the USB ports weren't working on Windows 7, 64 bit. It came back wiped, running on Vista 32 bit and.....with the USB ports not working.
    I figured I'd try to get it working because I need my laptop for uni and can't send it back right now. So I clean installed Windows 7, 64 bit again and its still not working. Did the standard open device manager and uninstall everything under the usb tab. All that has resulted in is causing the fingerprint scanner to stop working (being told that it is not connected) and still no working USB ports.
    All advice really welcome and very much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Hi:
    Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on that model.
    Just use all of the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.
    Your model uses the Intel HD graphics driver only.
    The first driver you have to install is the Intel chipset installation utility and then reboot.
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/swdHome/?cc=us&lang=en&sp4ts.oid=5359407&ac.ad...
    Audio:  Accept the agreement.  Download and install the first driver on the list.
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT...
    If for some reason, the Intel HD graphics driver from that model does not work, then use this one...

  • V570 - USB Ports Not Working

    Please forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section! First thread!
    Recently, three out of four of my USB ports decided to stop working. The one USB port that works is a USB 2.0 port that is located between the microphone jack and the DVD drive. There is also a eSATA / USB combo port. The eSATA portion works fine, but the USB does not work. At first I suspected that the USB controller was probably starting to fail. I don't understand why all but one USB port functions properly. 
    I have tried reinstalling the chipset drivers, updated my BIOS, and I tried to see if the ports are recongized in Linux. None of those work. I also checked the ports to make sure there are no bent pins. My warranty period just ended so I was wondering what I can do now. I don't mind opening up the computer, as long as I know what to look for.
    Thanks in advance!

    hi idaggerpwn,
    The USB board must be bad. Try to re-seat the cable from the USB board to the motherboard and check. If this doesn't work, check if the USB ports are somehow disconnected to the PCB. If they are, you will need to hire an a technician with board level soldering skills to reconnect them or you can contact lenovo for service to replace this part. (fees may apply)
    Check page 78 (see #10) of the hardware maintenance manual (HMM) for the USB board location. To access the USB board see page 53 of the HMM.
    Best regards,
