Is it possible to install 3.0 USB port on HP 2000 410 Notebook?

Hello Experts!
I'm running  Windows 7 64-bit on a new HP 2000-410 notebook. It has a 2.20 GHz Intel Pentium B960 processor and 3.85 GB of RAM. 
While I can see it might be relatively simple to upgrade through an expansion port on a desktop computer, I don't know what might be possible on a laptop.
Amazon assures me it can be done, but before I try to figure out how to install a PCIe in the motherboard, I thought I'd best ask the experts first. 
Is it possible?
If so, is it worth it? Would I need an independent power supply, too?
I'd appreciate any advice. I thank you for your expertise in advance.
Kate

HDE 2 Port USB 3.0 54mm Express Card if you have the slot room for express cards. I bought one from amazon for under 2bucks, got a powered usb 3.0 hub under 25 bucks and works great.

  • Installed a new USB port, and cannot connect

    Hello Everyone.
    I have a Dell computer which runs Windows XP. It's USB ports are 1.1. I installed a new USB 2.0 port (from IOGear), but I still cannot get the iPod to sync with iTunes. When I called IOGears tech support line, they said that iPods are not compatable with their USB ports. Is there any work around for this, or is there another USB port that is compatable with iPod. Any information will help.
    Thanks,
    Drew

    Hello Drew,
    Don't worry, you can can still use your ipod with usb 1.1. What I do know that happens for sure is that you may have slow transfer speeds. Try this and also try connecting your ipod to a usb 1.1, does it charge?

  • USB Ports on HP G60-230US Notebook Not Detecting USB Devices

    I've had an HP G60-230US Notebook PC for about three and a half years now, and all of a sudden tonight my USB ports decided to all stop working.  I first noticed it when I tried to hook up my iPod to sync it and it didn't show up in iTunes.  I unplugged my wireless mouse to see if the other USB port would work with no luck, and when I plugged my wireless mouse back in it wasn't detected either.  I tried restarting my computer twice to see if that would take care of the problem but it didn't. 
    My notebook currently runs Windows Vista.  On a normal day I'll have my external harddrive (WD My Passport Essential 500 GB), my wireless mouse (Microsoft Wireless Mobile 3500) and my Targus Chillmat with 4 USB hubs in the back plugged into my 3 USB ports.  My printer is usually plugged into one of the Chillmat's USB ports.  When I want to sync my iPod I usually unplug the Chillmat because none of the USB hubs on it will detect the iPod.  At the moment my wireless mouse will still work if I leave it plugged into its USB port when I restart my computer, and all the chillmat is doing is cooling my laptop down.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    You may have exceeded the available power capacity of the USB ports in your notebook PC too many times. That can result in non functioning (forever)  ports. That is the specific reason that I recommend only using externally powered USB hubs.
    You can check the current carrying capacity of the USB ports and see how much they are using via the device manager.
    Open Device Manager and then right-click a USB root hub. Select properties and then the Power tab.
    This particular system has many ports available.

  • Trouble with all 3 USB Ports: HP Pavilion 14-v062us Notebook PC

    I was recently playing a game on my computer with a mouse controlled by a USB drive.  A little bit into the game, the mouse disconnected for no known reason.  I have been playing this game about six months now, and have never had this problem in the past.  I relocated the drive to the other two ports, but the device was not recognized in any of the ports. I plugged in another device controlled by a USB drive and got the same results.  I have uninstalled the USB Composite Device and USB Root Hubs then restarted my computer to no success.  Any help towards identifying and solving the problem is greatly appreciated!

    Hi there @D3rr1ck,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are having problems with all of the USB ports on your notebook. I am happy to help with this.
    Take a look through the following and try the sections that are applicable.
    HP PCs - Troubleshooting USB connections (Windows 8)
    Normally the USB driver is a part of the chipset drivers for a board, so you can also try updating that, which you can find on this page: HP Pavilion 14-v062us Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) - Software and Drivers

  • Possible to install on external USB 2.0 hard drive?

    Is it possible?
    I have leopard installed on my macbook pro, however i need tiger for final cut pro.
    I am going to buy an external HD, and want to know if i can install tiger onto it? to use.....for the time being for FCP (some plugins not compatible)

    I got a Sumo 320GB instead of the 250 .
    Formatted in the way you need to boot in intel-mac. Installed OS X Tiger and it all works perfectly, and there is really no speed difference.
    I do have a question, I can not access files from my internal HD now from Tiger. How do i allow Tiger to access my internal Leopard?

  • Possible USB port damage using non-powered USB hub?

    Referring to the recent discussion on ruining firewire ports with damaged peripherals, a related question concerning the possibility of damage to the USB port:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7948387#7948387
    I have an old iPod Shuffle, USB only, and a camera card reader, both of which which get pulled and connected "on the fly" to a bus powered USB hub which is attached to one of the USB ports on the iMac. Am I risking similar damage to the iMac USB port, itself, if something goes bad on the Shuffle or the card reader? Should I be using a POWERED USB hub to avoid direct damage to the iMac USB hub? (And, assuming it will have to be USB 2.0, will it be backwards compatible to USB 1.1?)

    No, my belief is that FireWire devices are more prone to damaging the circuitry behind the port due to connecting and disconnecting on-the-fly (compared to USB). There is supporting documentation on the web, for example.
    http://www.wiebetech.com/whitepapers/FireWirePortFailures.php
    http://lowendmac.com/misc/03/0421.html
    (there are many more)
    Mechanical failure (wear and tear) through constant plugging and unplugging is a secondary consideration.
    If your FireWire device is constantly connected, this issue does not exist (and there is no wear and tear either). On my Intel iMac, my external FireWire drive is always connected, and I use the direct port on the Mac. If I ever need to disconnect it, I shut down my iMac and then disconnect. The other FireWire port is connect to a hub, and that is where I connect and disconnect FireWire devices on-the-fly (old iPod, small bus-powered drive, and video camera).
    If your iPod shuffle is the old +thumb drive+ style with the USB plug, you should be using a self-powered hub. That may be why it is not reliable. Also, that plug on the old shuffle is the most likely part to fail, so it is possible that it is getting worn out. I bought a bunch of used and reportedly broken iPod shuffle (the older white type) on eBay to see if I could fix any of them. I would say, 80% of the time, it was broken due to a faulty USB plug (no data connection). On the rare ones broken for another reason, I used that good USB plug to get another shuffle working. (A few worked after using the iPod Reset Utility, without any other repair. )
    But I'm getting off topic with the shuffle talk...

  • Non operational USB ports and stuck on grey apple start up screen

    Two problems
    1. USB ports are non operational. I believe I fried them by accident. When hooking up an external USB hub, I may have connected an incorrect power supply. Now the USB ports on the front and back of my tower are non operational/do not work. As a work around, I bought a USB pci card and installed it. This has been working for my keyboard, mouse and external hard drives but my iPhone will not sync. My ilok is recognized in system profiler but I cannot download anything to it.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Is it possible I fried my main USB port?
    2. I was reading different threads and a possible solution to the USB port problem was to reset my PMU. I have no clue why or if this would fix it but I gave it a try. Disconnected power supply and everything else after shutting down the computer. Found the pmu button on logic (or is it the motherboard or is it the same thing?). Pressed it, waited 20 seconds, put computer back together, connected power supply mouse and keyboard and tried to power up. The computer would not power up and the front power light was on but would not power up/boot. In a dumb panic, I opened up the tower and pressed the pmu button again without disconnecting the power. This seemed to work bcause my computer powered up! A red light on the logic board turned on and I got to the grey apple screen. This is where it froze. Hard reset, powered up, same problem. Unplugged power supply and tried again. Same problem. Tried pmu reset (unpluged power this time) and a repeat of the first pmu attempt. I tried starting up with cmd opt o p (I forget the exact letters but it was a reset with starting chimes), then I tried reinstalling with boot DVDs. It would get through the first DVD then restart and get stuck. Finally, I got it to accept second Boot DVD and finish installing and tried starting in safe mode. Got to safe mode and went to disk utility and checked first aid. No reported repairs necessary. Copied all files needed from HD and shut down. The computer did not shut down properly (this has been an ongoing problem before all these current problems and it has had problems booting fulling with hard resets needed once and a while). From here I tried restarting, pulling power supply, staring again and it keeps gettin stuck on grey apple loafing screen. The spinning wheel spins and then gets stuck, fans increase in speed and nothing. I can get back to safe mode either.
    I'm very wordy I guess but more info the better, right?
    The tower is very very very dusty. I will compress air it to clean it and attempt to clean connectors with alcohol. I will let it sit over night disconnected an then try powering it up.
    What could the possible problems be? What can i do? Any suggestions on proper cleaning. I know how to ground properly and not to use a vacuum. I might have pressed the pmu button more than once. I'd the battery dead? Could it be a power supply problem. ****, I'm out of ideas and I really tried solving without posting but I'm poor and need my computer! Help!

    Welcome to the forums. Lots of good information and help to be had here.
    OK, first, let us know more specifically which of five flavors of Power Mac G5 you have. Find the serial number on the build plate on the inner bottom panel just below the CPUs and use this site to get the exact configuration:
    http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
    In the meantime, assuming that you haven't replaced the PRAM battery in quite a while or ever, that would be a good thing to do.
    Getting dust out of the system is a must. The power supply is especially prone to dust buildup. You might want to deal with that by taking the machine outside, as it can get pretty thick coming out.

  • USB ports won't work

    Hi, I recently bought a Probook 4441s-445TX. I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on it but I couldn't get my 2 USB ports on the right side of my laptop to work. I looked into this and it seems like HP Probooks series have similar issue as well. The USB ports on the right (USB 2.0) don't work at all, they won't recognize any devices nor they can recharge any devices via USB cable. 
    Any suggestion? Am I missing a driver here (I checked Device Manager and it says I miss one driver but it's unknown device with Hardware ID "ACPI/HPQ6000" which I still couldn't find the driver for it, btw, but I don't think it has anything to do with the USB ports. 

    Hi:
    If the notebook is still under warranty, it is time for you to call HP technical support.
    Good luck,
    Paul

  • My Macbook Pro Retina's USB port on the right side not working at all

    Dear all,
    I received my macbook pro 15inch with retina display a week ago, but not until today had I got the chance to use the USB port on the right side, only to find out that it is not connecting to anything at all. I have tried to use my iPhone 4 and iPad 3 with two different cables, my USB thumb drive, and my Blackberry 9900, none of them are charging nor shown in iTunes/Finder. All of above works on the left and on other windows machines too.
    I'm also not able to charge my Blackberry with the usb port on the left side, thought it would pop up a message saying "charging not supported" on the phone.
    For you information, I have applied both updates including the one released few days ago. I have also tried to reset the PRAM. Also, I have migrated from my old late 2008 13inch unibody Macbook using Migration Assistant, not sure if this would affect anything.
    I'm aware that there have been reports and discussions regarding the USB port not been able to run devices on 3.0 speed, but I wonder if anyone else have the same problem with me, where the port simply not connecting to anything at all?

    I also have a problem with the USB port on the right side of my Retina MBP.  The USB3.0 port on the left side works fine, even with high speed external SSD enclosures, like the OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G which enables me to copy large files at a sustained rate of 160-170MB/sec.  Wow USB3.0 and the Mercury SSD is a FAAAAST combination connected to the Retina MBP.
    However, like the forum entries about the USB3.0 ports in general on the new Retina MBP, the USB3.0 port on the RIGHT side is plagued with dropping intermittently, disconnecting my external hard drives while copying large files AS WELL AS disconnecting while just sitting there connected to an external hard drive and doing nothing.
    Therefore, since I don't feel like returning my Retina MBP and waiting weeks for a replacement, I have chosen to only use the left side USB3.0 port for now.
    I have my suspicions about why the right side USB port might be more problematic than the left side one.  I found this older post on the internet about how "Not all USB ports are created equal on MacBooks..." that talks about how on older models of MacBooks one of the USB ports shares a USB hub with multiple other devices like the iSight camera etc. therefore making it less tolerant of heavy traffic or something like that.  (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2008/05/the-macbook-all/)
    Therefore, I wonder if the right side USB port is sharing a USB internal hub where-as the left side one is more 'dedicated' and therefore in my case able to handle the high speed transfers/traffic I am throwing at it with my external SSDs.
    I have also read that USB3.0 in general, on non-Macs, has had trouble for years.  For instance, some forum entries on Apple Support Communities and other non-Apple forums has made mention that 'they' are not surprised at the problems encountered on USB3.0 external hard drives connected to the Retina MBP because Windows laptops have had a lot of flakey problems with USB3.0 for 'years'. 
    Also, I have recently purchased a "Buffalo" external Thunderbolt 1TB drive from OWC and have been doing Clones onto that drive for several weeks.  I use SuperDuper to clone >600GB of data on my 768GB Retina MBP several times a week.  And, I have (knock on wood) not had any problems with the stability of my externally connected Thunderbolt drive.
    So, in my case, I am racking it up to high-speed stresses on the USB3.0 ports at least in part...and perhaps the possibility that the LEFT side USB port on the Retina MBP is more dependable and/or a more dedicated USB port than the right side one.
    This doesn't really solve your problem, but it may at least help you feel like you are not alone.

  • Installing SQL Server 2008 Express on windows 2000 server ?

    Is is possible to install SQL Express 2008 on a Windows 2000 machine. Has anybody come across any issues doing this. any advice would appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jayce,
    The web page "Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008 R2" does not list Windows 2000 as a compatability option as follows; -
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx#Express32
    The earliest desktop operating system listed is Windows XP.

  • USB Port Replicator 2nd monitor doesn't work on restart with Vista

    Greetings wise wizards of Lenovo:
    I'm helping a friend with the USB Port Replicator, who is running Windows Vista Home Premium on her Acer laptop. She has all of the necessary hardware requirements, and I've installed the Lenovo USB Port Replicator drivers with once with Vista (automatically installing the drivers), once with the CD, and finally from the Lenovo website. The problem is that the port replicator works fine upon installation, but as soon as Vista is restarted, not only does a second monitor not appear automatically, it doesn't appear at all.
    Connecting the second monitor to the laptop VGA port works fine, and I can extend the desktop across both the laptop and the second monitor... it is only a problem on restart with the port replicator. I've uninstalled and resintalled three times now, once with letting Vista provide the drivers automatically, once with the CD, and once with the website download.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Zovoth

    Mines not working on XP. Works fine until I re-boot then I have a hard time getting it to work. I've tried unplugging the ac adapter, usb, tried switching my monitors and still nothing. Both monitors are functioning properly. The icon for the repilicator does not show up down the clock. It's in my program files with the only option to uninstall.
    Comon Lenovo, there hasn't been an answer to this question since 2008???

  • Dual display with Lenovo USB Port Replicator 43R8770

    Hi,
    I have installed the Lenovo USB port replicator using the 1.0.0.1 drivers.  I am running Windows XP on a Thinkpad X300.
    I can successfully get into dual display mode but when I try to make the external monitor my primary display it will not work.  It just switches my primary monitor back the notebook LCD without displaying any errors. 
    If I disable the notebook display I can set the external as the primary but as long as the notebook is enable the external cannot be set as the primary.

  • Bluetooth Windows 7 USB port problem

    Hi,
    I am using a class 1 bluetooth dongle (unkown manufacturer) with the toshiba bluetooth stack V 8.00.03 Premium, and a bluetooth headset. The specs for the dongle are : Bluetooth V1.2, USB compatible with V1.2/2.0
    I have a strange problem when changing the USB the dongle is plugged into. If I change the dongle to another USB port, searching for devices fails. I have tried uninstalling the stack, and of course deleting the device from the bluetooth manager window.
    Also, strangely , when I plug the dongle into a USB extension on the same port, it doesnt work either. When I put the dongle back into the same USB port it works fine as usual.
    I want to change the USB port so that I can get better reception , as its plugged in at the back at the moment. Also, I want to use the usb extension for the same reason, to bring it out above the desk. Weirdly though,as I say, it doesnt work with the extension (just a regular cable with USB male on one end and female on the other to plug the dongle into.
    Is this something to do with voltage drop down a cable? And regarding the changing of the usb ports is this something to do with the bluetooth ports being installed on that USB port only? I dont know exactly how bluetooth ports work so, how they get installed etc.
    Thanks very much for any help.

    Few questions at the beginning:
    Do you use Toshiba notebook?
    I ask this because, as far as I know, Toshiba supports BT stack on Toshiba notebooks but if you get it as part of package of some other manufacturer they are responsible for support and functionality.
    Until now Ive always used Toshiba notebooks and there is no problem with BT device so I cannot say much about your problem but what you can try is to remove preinstalled software, clean u the registry and after notebook/PC restart install Toshiba BT stack but put BT dongle in the port that you want to use now.

  • Iq518a usb ports not working

    Whenever i plug anything into the usb ports i get a message popping up saying that it cant recognise the the port
    Message Edited by Knobby_103 on 12-29-2008 01:32 AM

    Knobby,
    By chance, do you use the memory card reader and when done click the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the systray by the clock?
    If so, it's possible you are disabling the USB ports at the same time because I believe that the card reader also utilizes a USB port on the motherboard. If this is what's happening, you can keep this from happening by either going into "Computer", right-clicking the card reader drive, and selecting Eject. This will make it so you can remove the memory card safely without removing the entire hardware device.
