Right side USB port is not functional on my new Spectre13

I just purchased a new Spectre13 notebook and the USB port on the right side isn't functionnal. I searched in different places in the system and I cannot find a way to get it working. Is this normal?

And now the left side USB port doesn't recognise my 16GB USB key anymore. It does recognise a Logitech wireless mouse key but not my key.
Since it works fine on My MacBook, I know the problem isn't the USB key.

Right side USB port does not recognize mouse while in Vista

Ok, heres the deal. I use a corded USB mouse with my MacBook Pro. I am right handed, so I usually plug the mouse into the right side USB port. It works just fine while I am booted into OSX, but while in Vista, the mouse is not recognized at all when it is plugged into the right side. The mouse still works on the left side port just fine.
The weird thing is that I can still use that same right side USB port for my flash drive or iPod or anything else. Just not my mouse. Anybody else have this issue or have any input?
Thanks

Am I the only one with this problem? I am going to try to uninstall the mouse drivers in vista and then reinstall them and see if that does anything.

MacBook Pro Retina USB 2.0 devices not working in right side USB port

4 days ago I bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
When I plug USB 2.0 device to right side USB port, it does not work. OSX does not recognize it, iPhone does not charge, and so.
When I plug the same USB 2.0 device to left side USB port, it works.
When I plug USB 3.0 device to left or right side USB ports, it works without a problem.
Does anyone have this same issue? How did you resolve it?

I have a similar issue with a 13" Retina. Both my ports work OK for most USB devices but the right one won't work with a USB external HD (Time Machine backup). Very consistant.

My firewire 800 and USB ports on not functioning!

My firewire 800 and USB ports on not functioning, I believe it is an issue the next driver loaders anyone, know how I can reset these?

You don't "reset" a driver (kext). And I don't believe it s a driver problem. However you might try doing a smc and pram reset to see if that "shakes the ports loose". Might work. Couldn't hurt to try.

When I connected my iPod Classic or iPhone 4S to the right side USB port of my 2012 11 inches Macbook Air (128 GB SSD), I get a message from iTunes that I connected my device to a USB 1.1 port. I checked the specs, it's a USB 3 port. What's wrong?

Modem problems on Right Side USB port

I have mentioned this problem in a couple of other threads here, but I just got some news from Apple, so I thought it might be worthwhile to start a new thread. As you can see below, I have a MacBook Pro/15"/1.83, running 10.4.7, manufactured in week 13. When I went on a trip to the "Mainland" (I live in Hawaii) last month, I discovered that the USB port on the right side of the computer didn't work properly with my Apple USB modem. While I could get a dial-up connection, I couldn't maintain it, and it would hang up within a minute or two. Everything worked normally on the left side USB port. I brought the computer into the Honolulu Apple Store, and they confirmed the problem. They also booted the computer off an external drive, and it worked fine. I wiped the drive, and reloaded everything, and the right USB port still didn't work. I then sent the computer in for repair, twice now. The first time they also wiped the drive and sent it back to me. Second time, they kept it for 2 weeks, but were unable to find a problem. Sure enough, I still have the problem on the right side USB port. However, I also discovered I could do a backup of my user folders (~3 GB) onto an external USB drive from the right port with no problem.
Anyway, I just finished speaking with the Apple Rep, who told me there are other MBPs with the same problem, and they are investigating it. They said I should keep an eye on the Apple Support site for possible software/hardware fixes.
Hope they fix it soon. I do want to say that the people I spoke to have always been helpful.

Hello...
Even though I just got this USB Modem yesterday (as I have a trip to a place with no wireless or ethernet connection), and I haven't had the chance to test things out enough, I would like to report that I have the EXACT same problem, although I did connect several times from the RIGHT-side port (and even so, it was only for a few minutes, if I connected at all).
The LEFT port has now worked for 24 minutes straight, so, I think that that is the issue. There is a clear difference between the RIGHT port and the LEFT port, and I seriously doubt that it is the service provider.
I will continue to use the LEFT port until I find out more about what is going on. Very strange indeed.

Compag Laptop Right Side USB Port not working

I have a week old Compaq CQ56-115DX. Today for the first time I tried using a flash drive, first in the port on the right side. I didn't get any tones or pop-ups, like you'd normally expect. Then I tried the two on the left side. No problem with them. I wonder if this right-side port has some special configuration, like for some specific use that wouldn't respond to a flash drive. I see no alerts (yellow triangles) in Device Manager. I have read a few things on the Web about reinstalling USB devices, but thought I'd check here first for advice.
Solved!

That wouldn't be the problem (a dedicated port). The frontside ports of some machines have less power then rear facing ones in general, due to how they are connected, but in your situation, this wouldn't apply. I would definitely try the reinstallation of the USB drivers (uninstall and allow to refind) and if not, bring it back to the store since by your post, you indicate it's within the return period (14 days from date of purchase). Definitely, all your USB ports should be working.
To receive your in-store service, you will need to take your computer to your nearest Best Buy location.

I would take everything with you (box and all) in the event that an exchange is needed of that device.

Right Side USB Ports Don't Work on my DV7 6b32US

I just bought a DV7 6b32US.
It's on Windows 7 Home Premium.
The left hand side USB slots are okay. but the two on the right side do nothing at all. No message - nada!
It seems to be a common issue, but I have no resolution to it.
Also, annoyingly, when I logged on to the HP site to try and find drivers, the laptop's serial number is recognized as a Compaq.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone. I understand you're having issues with non-functional USB ports. I suggest trying the following.
Go to Device Manager.
Expand the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" section.
Remove all "host controllers."
Shut down the notebook.
Remove battery and AC power.
Hold power button for 20-30 seconds.
Replace battery and AC power.
Boot notebook and allow Windows to reinstall the host controllers.
Reboot one more time.
Verify that this resolves the issue.
Let me know the result. I hope you all have a Happy Holiday!

Booklet 3G: right side USB slot stopped working. H...

Didn't noticed the moment I started to experience this, but I have a problem. My right side USB slot, that is near to power connector stopped working: it cannot recognize and work with any equipment. Flash drives and other peripherial, which have a light indication does not light up, not even a blinking. Restarting, putting out battery for 10 minutes does not help. Even in BIOS mode any USB device light indication does not work. Other slots are working properly: device light indication works, the devices are detectable in Windows. Help... please. Any ideas how to fix, or at least to test the right side USB port?

Probably the easiest way to test is to insert a BOOTABLE usb stick/pen (not a usb disk drive) into the USB slot, reboot and at the NOKIA screen hit F12, which will take you into the boot options.
You should see your hard drive listed and your USB Device and you can choose which to boot from. If you don't even see your USB device, that is not a good sign and the port is likely to be faulty.
Just make sure that you have a proper working bootable usb stick. You can check that the same works when you follow the same procedure by testing the other usb ports.

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.

i have macbook pro 2012 retina
right side usb and mmc doesnt detect at all when i plug pen drive or mmc.....please solution

I do know that for new MBPs there is a no questions asked return policy if returned within 14 days of purchase. I am not certain if that applies for peripherals. If you have not damaged it, I would think that the odds are on your side if you return it for a refund. Obviously you have a good reason for the return.
Then it may be a good reason to purchase a new MBP. In any event, call the store and ask.
Ciao.
