  • Pavilion, A8M2N-LA, lost usb ports

    I have a Pavilion a1637c I am reinstalling Win XP on it.  The HP recommended drivers & updates for XP listed here show the A8M2N-LA BIOS update v 3.10 (sp35111) .   This was the 1st update I tried after getting XP & its SP2 laid down.  Now, I've lost use of my USB ports!  The bios has updated to version 3.10.  I know the usb ports had worked initially because I had loaded the  3.10 bios flash from a usb stick.
    I've tried resetting the bios to its defaults, but it appears that now version 3.10 is the new default.  Is there any way perhaps to rollback to a previous bios version?
    I have an Asus A8M2N-LA NodusM3-GL8E board with 4 memory slots.  I've seen posts about other models using the other A8M2N board with links to a different bios flash (example here).  Since I'm halfway messed up already, I'm hoping for a bit of advice to avoid completely bricking this lady's box.
    Thanks for any help you can offer!
    This question was solved.

    thank you for your prompt reply to my pm, but I don't see any chipset drivers listed for my box.  the only one close is the bios update to version 3.10 that I think is what's dorked me up to this point:  link here .  I did however find a page suggesting to use PC-Doctor, but since I've already formatted & reinstalled Windows, that's not there.  but I do happen to have a PC-Doctor for another platform that may work.  when I have a chance, I'm going to try using it to see if I can get any info from it.
    any more ideas sir?  thank you very much.

  • Lost usb port in laptop

    My wife attempted to update to Windows 10.It totally failed and "lost" the drivers for the usb ports so she can't use her mouse.We spent MANY hours on the phone with Microsoft while they took control of the laptop and attempted to fix it.They finally told us that they think there's some sort of virus on the drive they can't remove???? and that the laptop needs to have something done about the "partition" on the drive.They were not very clear about this, but told us to contact HP.Our warranty is expired. Considering this, if I do a reset to factory original will this correct the issue or has the virus done damage to prevent a recovery this way? Microsoft seemed to think a reset would not correct the problem.The laptop did not come with any disks. We are NOT any sort of experts on computers so we don't understand much of what they were telling us and we had problems understanding the accent of the person who was working the issue.

    , Thanks for posting back.  Yes in fact if it is proven to be a dead usb port the recovery will not solve the issue.  The recovery is to ensure this is not due to a software conflict caused by an update or OS change. It is always the first step to ensure it is not a software issue.  The next step is to pull and replace the motherboard if it is 100 percent tested and proven to be a dead port.  Here is the link to HP support for repair options if you require that.  See if you come up with any issues by running the BIOS hardware diagnostics first though just to see if there is any issues picked up. This link will help you with this. HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2) This link will connect you with the correct department at HP support for repair options. Contact HP Support Thanks again for the post and have a great day.

  • Lost the keyboard backlight, use of my USB ports and camera shows as disconnected. How do I fix this?

    Please help.  I'm still a MAC rookie.
    I unplugged my Pedometer from one of the USB ports on my Macbook Pro.  Ever since then, I lost the backlight to my keyboard. I did some troubleshooting on these discussion boards and found a few with similar issues, but most of the discussions were old and the solutions were out of date.  As one of them advised, I checked to see if my Isight Camera was still connected and it wasn't. I also tried plugging a few different things into both USB ports and neither of them worked either. So whatever caused this, it's affecting all 3 of these things. I don't know if my Pedometer is old/bad and it "short-circuited" the USB port and everything else along with it when I unplugged it or if something coincidentally went bad at the same time that I removed it. 
    I read some old answers from the discussion boards where they suggested a Command (R) system recovery reboot.  But I also read that that really doesn't help on newer operating systems. I am on OS X.  Here is my Hardware Overview:

    I did recently purchase a backup drive and I THINK I previously backed everything up properly. But, I can't even plug that into the USB port now to see if I
    can somehow use that to fix this since the ports aren't working. I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?  Please!? 
    Thanks in advance!

  • I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera.  I have an isight G5 imac that has been working great.  I have rebooted, reloaded my OS, and tried PRAM reset.  I can use my keyboard, but not other peripherals.  Any ideas on diagnostics?

    I have just recently lost use of 2 USB ports and my isight camera.  My keyboard works fine, but there is not any indication of connections when probing USB in "About this MAC".  I have rebooted, executed a PRAM reset, and reloaded my OS, but to no avail I am out 2 of my 3 USB ports.  I don't know how to diagnose the issue.  Any ideas?

    Well, if you've tried different USB cords and devices and have reset your PRAM:

    And SMC:

    I'd say your USB ports are shot - since they are an integral part of the logic board, replacing it will most likely be expensive. I'd still go for a definitive diagnosis at the Genius Bar.

  • LOST ALL USB PORTS

    Hey guys, really hope you can help cause I'm new at this.
    Just put together this brand new rig with Vista Ultimate, well here are my specs :
    MSI975X mobo
    4GB Corsair PC6400-800MHz RAM
    WD 320GB Caviar HDD
    Spire Pininfarina case
    ASUS Radeon EAX1950PRO 256MB graphics card
    Everything was running fine 5 minutes ago, when suddenly, after plugging in my digital cam to transfer a picture onto my HD, I lost ALL of my USB ports (front-2, back-6-including those on the D-bracket). I have no idea what happened but I was using a USB keyboard and USB mouse (diNovo Edge-Bluetooth, and Cordless Trackman-USB). Basically, when I plugged in my cam, the keyboard and mouse froze (then I realized that all USB ports had been lost, so it wasn't the keyboard and mouse at all). I had to restart the 'puter with the case's restart button, and then at the POST screen it said that there were no keyboard detected (of course). Then I had to take out an old PS/2 wired KB to reboot and enter Windows, and that's the KB I'm using now (along with an old mouse, PS/2 as well). I can't tell you how stressed out this makes me, because I have no idea what is the cause, and almost no experience at putting computers together. I think I installed everything correctly (the 9 & 10 pins on the USB headers are not used - my case included the correct connectors and I didn't have to unwire or cut anything), and all USB ports were working absolutely fine up until I plugged in my cam (in fact, I had plugged it in previously, and everything went fine).
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance to the kind soul who will be able to provide me with advice that will solve this problem, which I hope isn't too bad.
    Oh, and yes, the USB keyboard and mouse were both enabled in the BIOS.

    where do you plug your d-cam? front panel or back panel's USB port? If front panel, that means the port comes with the casing, not with the motherboard. MAke sure that your wired the USB cables correctly, and watch out of the 10th pin on the board, it is the OC pin (overcurrent). If your casing does not support this pin, don't plug it.
    No, my case's connectors have the correct configuration. The 10th pin doesn't have any wiring on it. But thanks for the input. By the way, how's life in Malaysia? I see you're from Penang... I'm fascinated by Kuala Lumpur for some reason. I'll be visiting your country as soon as I can, and particularly KL.

  • T420s USB port stopped working / lost power - Please help

    Hi!
    The left side USB port on my T420s has stopped working. Please see below picture for its location and description.
    The port has worked fine for the last 3 years, and just stopped recognising any devices (in this case a Logitech unifying receiver, which has woked just fine on the very same port). I have tested it with my mobile phone cable, which worked previously, and found that it does not charge/give power either.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Nope, it started to happen a couple of months ago as far as I can remember. Interesting that your problem, Harris, began after a software update.
    Nope, I haven't tried 'Repair Disk' from the install disk yet...Would this make a difference if the actual hard disk isn't the problem?
    On another note, I have just upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard and all the above permission messages now no longer appear, and I get an almost-clean slate afterwards. The only message I get now is...
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Does anyone know what this means??
    Oh, and my USB port still doesn't work!

  • 2 day old MBP and already lost a USB port!!

    I just bought a macbook pro yesterday along with a mighty mouse. Everything worked flawlessly until this morning. While I was working in Photoshop the mouse quit working. Since then it has given me the error message "USB device over current notice" even when there is nothing plugged in. As soon as it boots up I get the notice. It is only the right USB port that is giving me the problem. I upgraded to 10.4.6 but that didn't solve the problem. I searched around and haven't been able to find a fix. Has anyone had this problem and been able to fix it? Thanks.
    MacBook Pro 1.83GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Thanks for the reply. I was on the phone all morning with Apple and tried many different things to get the port to work and apparently its a problem with the port itself. I'll just have to exchange it. I'll go ahead and do a fresh install of the OS and let everyone know if it gets rid of the problem.
    I bought it at CompUSA. When I took it out of the box I noticed that the screen had some smudge marks on it as if someone tried to wipe it off. It certainly didn't look "new". I'm guessing someone else returned the computer and they turned around and sold it to me. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the new one.

  • T410 - Lost Mouse USB Port

    Hello,
    I'm using my T410 Laptop for almost a year now. Last Wednesday (February 23rd, 2011) suddenly the mouse usb port on the right side of the frame didn't work anymore. It did perfect the day before! To check the usb port, I tried other mouses and a USB stick and I restarted my PC, but nothing helped it just didn't react anymore. The mouse works perfectly when I plug it into the usb port on the left hand side of the frame. Does anyone have a workaround to reactivate the right usb port? It's my work PC and I couldn't miss it for 3 or 4 weeks for repair. 
    Thank you for any help or suggestion.

  • Lost power to front USB port

    With Tiger I could plug any device into my USB port on the front of my dual 2 GIG G5 and it will work. Now with Leopard if the device is not under it's own power, like a portable HD, it is unusable. How can my USB port work fine with Tiger and become unusable with Leopard? I have a lot of portable HD's as I'm a photographer and use the HD's as backups. Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
    Link Removed by Host: Please see the terms of use regarding signatures and links

    Shut down your G5 and unplug everything including the display, FireWire and USB devices as well as the power cord. Let it sit for five to ten minutes completely unpowered. This should reset all the FireWire and USB ports. Plug the display back in, power back in, turn the computer back on and plug your devices back in one at a time. Does this resolve the issue?

  • My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

    Hi everyone,
         I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

    I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images!  Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

  • Since upgrading to Lion 10.7.3 my USB ports don't work for anything. Any ideas?

    I have been a long-term (nearly 25 years) Apple User, so am reasonably familiar with the system. I upgraded about 1 week ago with an automatic update to Lion and since then I have had massive problems using the USB ports on my Mac Pro (which is from 2009). At first this affected every USB port and I couldn't use my keyboard or mouse, but since restarting a couple of times, and repeatedly inserting and removing them into the various rear ports, I can use these plugged in via monitor cable.
    However, the USB ports for other devices are extremely problematic and frustrating as nothing seems to work consistently on them. This affects all devices that I usually access (and which all worked seamlessly before upgrade), including my iPhone (which will power up but not be recognized when plugged into any front or rear port), external drives, cameras, and my printer. However, for the printer only (a Brother MFC 9840) it will work some times if I restart the computer, but not others. I have tried rebooting, switching ports, using other cables, changing power cords. I have read multiple threads on USB issues with Lion for a solution including those to do with printers (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3301218?start=0&tstart=0), those to do with external drives (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3510032?start=30&tstart=0), and even those to to with modems (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3164614?start=0&tstart=0). Despite this, I note that there appear to be no consistent solutions reported and that in other support threads including reseting PRAM. I do see many more problems than I would have expected.
    I don't know if this is related, but after the upgrade I also had problems with Outlook not working, but for some reason that seemed to stop after a couple of days. Just in case I also checked to see if I was affected by the malware program (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3856206?tstart=30), but thankfully I am not.
    I am sure this has to do with the upgrade to Lion 10.7.3, and have been expecting something from Apple to address these issues, but nothing so far. I am completely lost for solutions, and any help gratefully received.
    Slightly unrelated, but again speaking to a possible change in culture in Apple that has seen upgrades cause more problems than they solve, I am also affected by the change from MobileMe to iCloud and the loss of push e-mail. For those not aware, this has been an issue for more than 6 months, and on the discussion there are now 35 pages of comments, and no solution in sight (https://discussions.apple.com/message/18050375?ac_cid=142432#18050375).

    Generally speaking, a full recharge and reboot after the recharge will solve the issue with the ports.  Many ports will also start to fail if you leave devices hooked up to them when the machine is asleep.  Unfortunately, many non-Apple devices don't understand the low power mode ports go into after Energy Saver is woken up, and only a reboot solves that problem.
