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!

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.

HP Pavilion dv6 All 4 USB ports stopped working

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.
Could anyone offer a solution or suggestion, please?

HP Pavilion G6-2146sl left USB ports not working

Hi, I have an HP Pavilion G6-2146sl with Windows 7 Ultimate x64... my problem is that the two left USB ports stopped to work properly: for example, when I insert an USB flash drive it turns on but it's not recognized by Windows. The only port wich works is the one on the right of the laptop. I've tried to do a driver search, but Windows doesn't find any driver. Here's a screen of my Windows device management:
Thank you in advance for your help and sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian.

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.

KB 107451, Resetting the AirPort Extreme Base Station

Hp pavilion dv6 disables all usb ports when put to sleep mode. hibernate will enable them again.

Im using an HP pavilion dv6 - 6b56el with Windows 7 Home Premium.
First install on 15-DEC-2011
When I put the PC to sleep it will disable all USB ports.
When I restart the box or put it to hibernate (and wake it again) the USB ports wil work again.
This happens when running on battery or connected to a power supply.
As far as I can see I checked all power settings that could possibly disable the USB ports.
I think the latest changes to the system made before this happens were automatic windows updates on 18-DEC-2011 and 19-DEC-2011.

Hi,
There are some computers on the market which have special USB port(s) stay awake during the computer in sleep mode. In your case, you can change this using Device Manager under power management tab (un-tick "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power").
Regards.

Pavilion dv6 2190us esata/usb port and Dual HDD Dock

When I connect a dual HDD dock (BlacX Duet) to the esata/usb port only one drive is recognized. Can this esata/usb port support dual sata drives? How do I make it work?
Windows 7 64-bit
Core i7 Q 720 1.6Ghz

I have the exact same question with my DV6T I bought Nov 2009. Did you ever get an answer? I want to buy a dock that supports 2 sata drives and connects via 1 eSata cable to the laptop. But before investing need to know if the eSata port is multi port aware as the docks require the laptop chipset be able to support. I emailed HP help desk without success so far. Any info is appreciated...thanks.

HP Pavilion dv6-6b10tx two of the usb ports are not working

I have recently bought a HP Pavilion dv6-6b10tx....and had it fixed by hp for a problem with the beeping noise.
After sending my laptop for repairs( replacing the system board), I received my laptop but two of my usb ports are not functioning...
I did a bios update and did the hp update to see if it actually fix anything but not luck. So I went device manager and found a exclamation mark on the renesas electronics usb 3.0 host controller with a device status 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'. What do i do??

The question is why is the port not working? Is something in the port that you can see? If not, then there isn't much you can do but take the computer in to the genius bar and have the techs see if it is a circuit problem that can be fixed.

HP Pavilion dv6-1350sl - USB ports does't work!!

hello,
I have an HP Pavilion dv6-1350sl (bought in Italy, with Windows 7 Home Premium).
Today I formatted my laptop and installed Win 7 Ultimate, however, the USB ports are not working anymore.
I used the drivers contained on HP's own site, but I still have the problem (HP drives Italian).
In Control Panel - System - Device, the USB port is with a yellow exclamation mark (but is energized, tested it with my cell phone).
What can I do? Will I have to reinstall Win 7 Home Premium?
I need help! tnks!!!

We do not know what drivers you tried to install. Is the Win7 Ultimate a legitimate copy? I would try uninstalling the usb hub as a device and reboot to see if you can get the driver to reload properly. Your laptop does not have usb 3.0 so actually Windows 7 ought to have a good driver built in. It is also important to have the Intel chipset driver installed:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-79070-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
If the usb ports were working before the format, then it is very, very unlikely the hardware has failed and it is almost certainly some problem with the OS install.

USB ports died after BIOS update on Pavilion dv6

I have a Pavilion dv6-03013cl running Windows 7 64-bit. Bought six months ago, and all was fine until this morning.
The HP support assist software told me to update the BIOS, which I did. And then all the USB ports stopped working. In Device Manager, it shows that all have a yellow triangle w/exclamation point. I've got two USB hubs, and into them are two printers, wireless mouse & keyboard, flash drives, and blue tooth adapter.
I just spent two hours on the phone with tech support in India, and he walked me through several possible fixes. System Restore does not work -- no matter what restore point I try, it hangs, taking hours (he said it should take no more than 10 minutes). Through all of this (and the following) all the USB hubs and devices were unplugged. Each step I would try just the flash drive (which works fine in the laptop on my other desk).
Tried uninstalling all the USB ports from Device Manager; that didn't help.
Tried Recovery Manager, but the USB was not on the list.
Tried rebooting hitting F8 to "last known good configuration", which didn't help.
Tried downloading BIOS from HP site, which didn't work.
Finally he told me the only solution is System Recovery, which will send me back to factory settings; meaning I'd need to reinstall all software and data files. I really do not want to do that.
Any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.

i have the same problem and found this on another site
so this is what we get for trying to be responsible and updating.....

USB Ports work Intermittantly on Pavilion Notebook

I have a HP Pavilion dv7-2270us Entertainment Notebook PC that is running Windows 7. The USB ports seem to work intermittantly. There are two regular USB ports on the left hand side and one on the right. I have an iPhone, Adidas miCoach, and wireless mouse that I usually have plugged in, and lately nothing is recognized.
Sometimes I get an error that the USB device is not recognized, sometimes I get nothing at all as though the ports aren't even there.
I have tried taking out the battery, replacing and rebooting. I have also tried uninstalling the USB Root Hub, and then the Root Hub plus controllers. When I did this it seemed like it worked - I plugged my mouse in and it worked! I plugged my iPhone in and now nothing works again.
I have Norton 360 Installed (in case that is an issue), and I also have some old Sony Ericksson software that I've recently uninstalled because someone told me that it wreaked havoc on their machine in terms of their device drivers.
The laptop is just out of warranty (Dec 2010) so this is a relatively new machine. But I love all my gadgets and need to be able to use them all!

Right Click on all devices which are recognized as unknown and Choose Uninstall one by one.
Please ensure you also do this for any and every item under Universal serial bus controllers as well. After this restart your computer and you should be good to go.

USB Ports on HP Pavilion 15-e087nr Laptop Not Working

I have a HP Pavilion 15-e087nr Laptop running Windows 8.1. It has 3 USB ports and all of sudden they stopped working. It will not detect my wireless mouse, a USB corded mouse that I have or my phone when I plug it in. I checked Device Manager and under USB Devices it shows a number of choices and none of them have any errors showing so it appears the computer is seeing the ports. However, nothing works when plugged into them. Anyone have any ideas for fixing this issue? I've tried to uninstall them with no luck.
I appreciate any help that can be provided.
Thanks

Have you tried restarting the laptop? Many times we get simply put the machine to sleep or hibernate- a full shutdown/restart can help with usb problems.
You might also try disabling "USB Selective suspend" in your Power Options plan.

HP Pavilion Elite m9258 will not boot up. Won't recognise USB ports -mouse keys etc

HP Pavilion Elite M9258
70 percent of the time will not boot up.
Computet light is on. DVD drive will open and shut. Fans sound slightly quieter when this happens.
The monitor comes on but the light goes to orange. When I press any of the monitor buttons, it flashes a message for a few seconds telling me it is in sleep mode and invites me to move the mouse or press a key to continue
The problem is that the USB ports are not recognised by the computer at this point. The infra red mouse light flashes briefly when the computer is switched on then goes and remains off. The keyboard is also unresponsive.
The sole fix that I can find is to repeatedly turn the computer off and on again. After 70 -100 attempts ( over 4 to 6 hours) it suddenly boots up normally. The problem began a year ago and is increasing in duration and severity.

I have unplugged all external devices like you told avro500 to do and I did finally get it started but the computer still freezes and it is doing it more often as time goes by! I even paid HP support the $100 dollars (or around that amount) to fix it but it keep happening even after they worked on it but it was after the 7 days or what ever their policy is! They downloaded some security suites and ran their scans! They left Advanced system care, ccleaner and superantispyware on my computer and I was just wondering if they could be conflicting with my paid norton internet security? I have become very flustrated because first off I paid a lot of money for this computer and it's not even 2 years old yet and I also have paid HP a lot of money to fix it and all the guy from India could say to me was "I have been working on this computer and it hasn't froze up so the problem must be fixed!" Well it's not!! and I don't know enough to fix it myself so thats why I paid you a hundred dollars to do it for me! haha thanks for any help!

How to Install a parallel port printer to usb port of Pavilion dv5 Notebook

In trying to install my HP DeskJet 610C Parallel Port printer to my HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx Notebook PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, I followed instructions given by HP Support some two years back.
I connected up the two units through a Parallel-to-USB ports cable. The PC loaded and confirmed suitable driver. (Following advice from sites on the Internet, I have made repeated attempts to carefully install the printer, but to no avail).
Upon my issuing the Print instruction, the printer invariably prints two copies of what appears to be 'gibberish' in two lines at the start of the sheet. Thereafter it picks up and then ejects 6-8 sheets of blank paper.
Any help in resolving this anomalous situation will be be most welcome and much appreciated.
I might add that the printer works normally when connected in parallel to an older, Compaq Armada 1750 Notebook (XP OS). In this instance too, the Parrallel/USB worked as in the Pavilion PC, above.
This question was solved.

Hi khalidem,
Sounds like you have a communication problem with the printer cables. Have you tried a new parallel to USB cable or adapter?
