Loose USB port cage and flickering home/menu/back/search button lighting

I just got this phone today, as I switched over from T-Mobile, immediately I noticed the USB cage that goes around the port to charge the phone is loose and can be shaken quite easily, also when you look at your 4 home touch keys at the bottom, they almost appear holographic because they change brightness, not sure if that's supposed to be that way or not. Trying to decide if I should call for an exchange or not. On top of hearing myself during calls, not so sure about this phone at the moment.....

Thank you SydneyK for your reply.
OP/ If you are having issues with your new device keep in mind you can always exchange your device during its return and exchange period. If you purchased the device directly from Verizon Wireless you have 14 days to decide if you would like to exchange the device. If your device was purchased through a third party vendor please refer back to them for further information on their exchange policy.

How to open computer hp 2000 to fix loose usb port connector?

how to open computer hp 2000 to fix loose usb port connector?

Here is the Manual:
Manual
The usb ports on the right, next to the power jack, are on a daughterboard and fairly easily replaceable but the left usb port next to the HDMI is on the motherboard. The only way to repair it is to resolder it to the motherboard. Good luck.

Anyone else have a loose USB port?

I bought my 13" MacBook Pro about a month ago or so, It's the latest refresh of the MacBook Pro 13" line. I have an i5 2.4ghz pro. w/ 4gb of RAM, 500 HD and Lion of course. So just the other day I noticed that one of the two USB slots I have on the left side of the computer is very loose. It's the USB port that is closest to the SD card slot. Basically if I plug in a device to it I notice A LOT of wiggle room in there. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue since the computer is fairly new. Anyways if I plug in that same USB device to the other USB slot it doesnt wiggle nearly as much as the other one. When a device is plugged into the loose port and wiggled it doesnt disconnect or anything like that, it's just loose and I know it doesnt seem like a huge problem but when you pay 1200+ for something you dont expect things like this. Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. I'm most likely going to pay a visit to the Genius Bar.

That's what I would do. Loose usb ports aren't normal.

Hi Auracles1,
Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

Software switching a usb port on and off

Hi,
I write here because I hope somebody will be able to help.
I have a simple little lamp that draws its power from a usb port.
I'd like to know there is a way to turn the light on and off via software.
Meaning I would have a script that toggle the power on the usb port on which the lamp is plugged, switching the light on and off.
This way I could turn it on and off remotely.
Does anybody here has an idea on how this can be done?
Thanks.

Hi,
as far as I know USB ports (I have some experience with USB 1.1) there is no way. But I might be wrong!

Loose USB Port Connection

I bought a brand new Playbook 32GB today and took it out of the box to charge it. I used the supplied charger to plug it into the wall. I found that the charger had a very loose fit laterally and can wiggle several degrees in each direction. The charging cable does not fit snugly into the port. This is obviously concerning due to the fact that it's brand new and will only get looser over time. The reason for the loose fit is not a loosely secured port inside the unit. Upon closer inspection it appears that the micro usb port is not crimped to the trapezoidal shape of the micro usb head. The small metal frame is more of a full oval. I would guess this is a sign of a shoddy production mistake. Can anyone else comment on if their port is crimped to shape or experienced the same thing. A link to a photo is below. Please advise. Thank you.

I had the same thing happen to me mine was not the Playbook but the AC adapter. I called RIM and they sent me a new AC adapter it works now. If you have a newer Blackberry smartphone you can use that charger or charge it using the usb cable.
Please give me Kudos if you feel like I helped you
Thank you

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.

What are some of the best iOS apps can remotely played videos, audios, photos and text files from a NAS hdd connected to Airport Extreme USB port? And how to configure this setup?

I have already set up NAS hdd as connecting it at USB port of Airport Extreme, i also want to remotely access it from iPhone, so what's the next step? What are some of the best iOS apps can remotely played videos, audios, photos and text files from the NAS hdd and how to configure this setup?

*Edit - I am not able to connect to the NAS when hardwired to the airport extreme.

Sound issues; slow response; usb ports unreliable and sd reader not working

The PC is a HP TouchSmart envy about 18 months old. Soon after purchasing I upgraded to Win 8.1.
About three or four months -ago probably after a Win update was installed- I began to have Sound issues (including not able to conect my external powered speakers any more- they used to work brilliantly and initially no sound at all but I went into settings and changed something and every now and again I have to do that again to get the PC speakers to work) ; slow response; usb ports unreliable, sd reader not working- as well as issues with the internet - the modem actually. It is easier to get on to a tablet and use the internet as my PC can be really slow. As well I have uninstalled Chrome and am using Explorer as this seems a little better but I miss Chrome.
I was advised by tech at Hervey Norman that I had to do a complete system restore but in order to do that I would need the recovery discs from HP? Is that correct? How do I do this?
PS I did not make recovery discs when I first purchased the machine. (Very sad!!!)
Help!!!
Alfriston

Hi again Alfriston,
Thank you for the clarification!
To return your computer's audio back to functional order, I recommend removing the audio driver from the operating system previous to upgrading to Windows 8.1, and installing the driver provided in this link.
If re-installing the driver does not resolve the issue, I suggest following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8).
In regards to the USB ports, I recommend following this resource on Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 8), which should help consistently connect your USB devices to your computer.
To prevent your computer from lagging or responding in a slow manner, please follow the step in this document on Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8) to help improve the speed and efficiency of the operating system.
To further diagnose the issue with your desktop's SD card reader, I recommend following this resource on Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers (Windows 8).
If your desktop still experiences issues with the audio, USB connections, speed and performance, as well as the SD card reader, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Imac usb ports disabled and nothing is connected

iMac 27inch Late 2007 USB Ports Disabled Again!
Has happened before and took forever to fix it. Nothing specific fixed it last time and nothing I know was the direct cause. Each time different OS, different location, different year, different cables etc etc.
Now, reset everything, moved everything, changed everything - still nothing. No USB ports work. iMac still has pop up "USB devices disabled..."
Taking into Apple unless someone can tell me what 10 pages of google hasn't - what a bloody stress and waste of time!

USB port issues and unable to reset

I'd personally see a doctor about this... wait, what? God damn it!

Have just in the last few days noticed an issue where singstar was not recognising my USB microphones and noted also that controllers were not being charged from the dual USB ports on my PS3 SuperSlim. Otherwise the system was operating fine until I tried to reset to defaults that is. Sadly now following taking these steps I can't progress beyond the select the PS button on your wired controller which of course doesnt work because the USB ports have failed. Seems a bit odd that the system is now bricked with only a fairly innocuous fault. Any suggestions to get me operating again with or without operating USB ports will be gratefully received.

TX2000 USB Ports, Digitizer and Webcam not working (several people have save problem)

OK folks this is an old problem that was posted on the old TX/TM board:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/TX-TM-Series-Notebooks-Reply/tx2000-usb-ports-digitizer-webcam-all-not-...
Several of us have had these ports/hardware fail.
****IT IS NOT A BLACK SCREEN FAILURE******
In my case, the motherboard has very low hours after replacement, full system reinstall, all drivers up to date. If you take the time to read all three pages, you will see that many of us have tried everything that anyone suggested. Most of us still believe that this is a software issue as opposed to a hardware issue.
Not much hope for a soulution, but thought I would try this board since the TX/TM board is now reply only and probably has a very low visit rate.
Jim

I also am not able to use the pen and touch features after doing a recovery manager to factory spec, everything else is good but like the others when trying to open Tablet Properties it gives the message a supported tablet was not found on the system, also after updating the digitizer from hp the version does not change it's still 6.1.6002.18005 when it's supposed to be 5.05-5_HP5 Rev.A.
I've unblocked the download in properties ran it as administrator,uninstalled the old driver, my USB works my Quick launch buttons work, the screen rotates, the bios is updated. ran HP Update it finds two updates -a HP update software utility and a critical update HP Photosmart and then nothing else when there are many many more at the software and driver page for the TX2000
Is HP being silent due to the class action lawsuit? Was that a perk that hp got for settling, that they no longer have to address any issue with this Tx2000 series?
As so many have wrote before...... NEVER AGAIN HP!

USB port unrecognized and malfunction!

I was just casually listening to my Ipod Classic (80GB) when I got the message - "connect to power".
So, naturally I take out my cable and plug it in. It doesn't work and the message that pops up at the bottom of my screen says something along the lines of... "USB port is unrecognizable and has malfunctioned".
Also, my Ipod sustained that message for about 20 minutes while I restarted my computer and manipulated my USB hubs. The suddenly...my Ipod screen was gradually becoming blank. It has remained blank.
(Except for a couple minutes ago when I could faintly see the message "connect to power". Excitedly I pressed the "play/pause" button and it went blank.)
Please help! This Ipod is quite new!!

Dudes.
I have an advice.
Try with another USB CABLE and not the one that CAME with the iPod. ( that, if you have a spare one from an older iPod).
I personally think that apple is selling broken USB cables with new ipods.
Especially Classic ones.

My ipod touch 4 won't sync or register on my computer. The cord works, the usb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall to charge it work, but when i plug it to the computer nothing, not even charging. P.S. worked before I updated it.

The cord works, theusb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall charger it works, but when I plug it into the computer, nothing, not even charging. P.S. it worked before I updated it to iOS 6.1.5

You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
