ThinkPad T60 USB Ports and Human Interface Devices

Hi. I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 and an HID gadget. When I try plugging it into the left vertical USB port, it installs and works just fine; however, when I try plugging it into either USB port on the right side, it always malfunctions and doesn't install or work correctly. Is there any solution to this error, and what's exactly causing it? I've tried the following:
-Updating laptop BIOS
-Reinstalling all USB drivers
-Reinstalling the driver of the device
Thanks in advance for some advice.

I believe you'll find the right side usb ports are part of a separate usb card that connects to the motherboard with a cable, the ports on the left go directly into the motherboard. If the ones on the right aren't working, then you may have a bad usb card. This part can be easily damaged too, bumping a device while plugged in can damage it.
The easiest way to test it would probably be to get a known good usb card and plug it into your motherboard. I believe this can be done temporarily as a test with only partial disassembly of the laptop. Replacing the part would require removing the systemboard/frame assembly from the lower case. I believe you could test if a new card solves the problem by removing only the keyboard and plugging it into the motherboard. It's hard to be sure without knowing exactly which T60 you have, and without having one in front of me to refresh my memory.

HT6437 My itunes cannot locate my ipod. All the sync option are grayed out and diagnostics says that itunes cannot find usb ports and that no device is connected when it is. What should I do to solve this issue?

So itunes is giving me problems. Since around Christmas time, itunes decided to stop reading my ipod. I connect it to my computer with the usb cable and my computer will recognize that a device is connected but itunes will not. If I go to file->devices and try to sync, all of my sync options are grayed out, while before it would just automatically sync.
When I run diagnostics it tells me that under ports that it cannot find usb ports (it has a green circle?), a type of cable isn't found, and that no device is connected with the usb cable (which my ipod is). I have been trying to fix this issue but nothing is working. I've tried restarting my ipod, itunes, and my computer, i've also tried resetting my ipod and uninstalling itunes then reinstalling itunes but nothing seems to be working.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Do the USB ports work for other devices?
Does the iPod charge?
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
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Vista thinks bluetooth 'radio is "USB Human Interface Device"

Hi all,
I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks now; it came straight out of the blue - perhaps triggered by an update? I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate (still in trial period, actually, as I haven't bothered to buy it yet) on a 17'' MBP, and everything has been working fine as far as Mac hardware... or was... until my bluetooth radio suddenly stopped showing up.
My Bluetooth devices still connect fine (well, only my wireless keyboard which doesn't need to be paired, my Mighty Mouse isn't working now), but do not show up in the Bluetooth Devices control panel applet. My radio shows up as a 'USB Human Interface Device' in the Device Manager, and no amount of uninstalling/reinstalling my BC drivcers is helping.
This is becoming a problem for me; I do a lot of gaming and need my Mighty Mouse.
All help is REALLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Bookworm

It IS, but so are all USB Mice, Keyboards, etc,etc,etc. My issue is that because Windows Vista cannot specify it as being an Apple Bluetooth Radio, I cannot control it - and thus cannot use it to setup my mouse. The issue seems to be that the drivers for the Apple Bluetooth Radio are not being used when my adapter is detected - instead, Windows is defaulting to a generic USB driver which would work for most USB devices - but doesn't allow things that require specific device types to work, such as pairing with bluetooth.
Happily, I have managed to obtain a fairly good USB mouse... the problem is that this ***** up a much-needed accessible USB port. I have to get a port extender or something...

USB Human Interface Device

Hi, I have an annoying yellow ! in my Device Manager for the USB Human Interface Device. Can anyone point me to the correct driver to remove it please?
Pete

Hi Laurent, I got your email with files and replied with my findings. However my email to you was bounced back to me as undeliverable, so I will reply on here.
I tried the files you sent; but unfortunately they had no effect using 64 bit Windows. I have since gone back to 32 bit; but not because of the problem with the human interface; I have decided to go back because my printer and my scanner manufacturers do not and will not be providing 64 bit drivers, and not only that; there are still other things that 64 bit are just not ready for.
So having said that; reverting back to 32 bit has enabled your previous version to work perfectly as expected. I do still have my 64 bit setup on a spare hard drive, so I can go back to that anytime if you wish me to try something else; being that it will be inevitable to use 64 bit Windows in the not too distant future.
Regards
Pete

T61 USB Human Interface Device drivers not loading after undocking

I have a T61 and after I undock (correct method, by pressing the eject button on the docking station and waiting for it to turn green) the laptop from my advanced docking station, the external mouse does not work. More specifically, this is the error message that I can see in the USB Human Interface Device with the yellow ! in Device Manager.
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38) "
Is there a fix for this? If I reboot the laptop then I can get my external mouse to work because the drivers can load, but I don't want to have to reboot after undocking.

Regarding your keyboard problem, it seems to be a very low-level problem. The driver cannot access the Control Registers on the Keyboard. By going down from your error message to the lowest level, one can see that it's probably a simple "outb" operation (write data on a specified address, shouldn't fail if the address is correct...) that doesn't succeed.
So I think you defintely need to look in your BIOS if you didn't deactivate something when upgrading, or messed with some address space, or many things I cannot think of right now.
Good luck

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?

The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.

My problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.Help me please! greetings thanks!

Hello good evening, I have a MacBook Pro and my problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.

Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Some gotchas:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

USB Ports and AGP Video Card on same IRQ

I've got a tough one. I have 6 USB ports. Call them 1,2,3,4,5,6. Ports 1 and 2 work fine with my new USB 2.0 80GB External Harddrive. This pair of ports 1 and 2 are direct into motherboard.
However system crashes when I plug USB 2.0 External Drive into ports 3,4,5,6. These are Dports with cables that plug into the MB. One of these Dports has the four error lights which are all green. Western Digital has cautioned against sharing this drive with other IRQs. Says that the video card and the WD harddrive require dedicated IRQs...but I have no control of how W XP assigns them.
Ports #3-6 work fine with mouse, scanner, and printer etc. However they fail when trying to use WD External Hardrive.
I also checked IRQ settings and IRQ 16 is used for a USB Port and for my MSI AGP video card. I believe this conflict is the cause of the problem.
So help..how do I fix this dilemma?
I have Windows XP and see no way to change IRQs.
BIOS does not even show IRQ as a choice..only 1-15. Also BIOS is latests version for my MSI 845G Max L MS-6580 mother Board. USB drivers are all Intel. Video Card Is MSI AGP MS-8878 G4Ti/MX 420 w TV out. Bios and Drivers are current.
How can I run the USB 2.0 External Harddrive in Ports 3-6?

I did load new Intel INF Drivers and AGP drivers yesterday.
No luck USB Ports 3-6 still fail with External Hard Drive.
I'm not clear on how to turn back on AICP or ACIP. BIOS?
Also not IRQs 16-23 are listed with active devices on the Device Manager
16 has a USB Controller at 24c2
16 also has AGP video card
17 has Audio '97
17 also has Fast Eternet.
18 has USB Controller at 24c7
19 has USB Controller at 24c4
23 has PCI to USB Interface.
Port 3-6 do work fine with mouse, dig cam, Scanner, printer. These ports only fail with External Harddrive plugged in. Ports 1and2 work fine with external HD??
So question is how do I check on the IRQ ports using AIPC or APIC...or whatever the name is...thanks folks.

Human Interface device for 6280

Any add-on software to activate human interface device for Nokia 6280? Blue tooth section is greyed, but some other cheaper brands than Nokia have this active! Any help!

Cheers, there is also a more simple one here which works out of box but it's functionality is very limited.

I'm curious to know more about this.
I've just looked in the powerChute instilation directory,
I can't see anything java'y of java'ish. Can you elaborate on this a little more please.
Thanks again for all the help. Still holding out for HID although your links are good and appreciated.

Human Interface Device (HID) API

Hi All
I searched but, I can't find a Java Human Interface Device (HID) API for windows.
Does such a thing exist?
Thanks Very Much

USB ports and Pocket Drive Unrecognized (IQ-775)

Hi all:
With no warning, the two front USB ports stopped functioning (rear ones are OK) and the Pocket Drive is no longer recognized. Worked one day, did not work the next. This happened simultaneously, so I assume it is related as the Pocket Drive is a USB device.
There is power to all of these ports, as when I plug something into them, or insert the pocket drive, the power lights come on, but the system does not show them. The pocket drive no longer shows on the folder tree, and if I remove it and connect it to a working USB port, it reports 'unknown device', tries to load a driver and fails. The Windows message says, "if this continues to occur, replace device" Easy for them to say!! I have used the Disk Manager, but it too cannot find the pocket drive anymore. Interestingly, the Pocket Drive works fine on other computers as a portable drive and is recognized as "HP Pocket Drive", so there is noting wrong with the device.
The pocket drive has disappeared from the Device Manager, and all of the USB ports show are 'working properly', but of course we don't know which are which or even if the front ports are listed as they are not identified
If anyone knows how to repair this problem or has had similar, I would be grateful. My IQ-775 is out of warranty so the repair is on me. I don't know how USB ports 'fail', but I am sure it is a 'fixable' problem.
The machine is steadily destroying itself, just sitting on the desktop. The WLAN adapter went first (on both of my HP machines), then the display drivers, then the Lightscribe, now the USB ports. Planned obsolescence at its finest!
Thanks

Cooper, it's NOT going to be all the devices that are having problems, the OP's issues are related to the USB hub/ports not working properly. Reinstalling drivers for all the USB devices including the Pocket drive that doesn't use any, would be an exercise in futility.
OP, try removing the USB root hubs in question in Device manager and letting the OS put them back on a reboot, that has been known to resolve issues like this, you can also go into the BIOS and do a "reset to default" I know that sounds strange, but it can resolve weird USB issues too.

The apple tech on the phone, went to my control,panel
Went to my devices. Original iPad showed up,there In red and then he had me go,to apple website, download something and it said it could configure to my computer.
Is,finally answer,to me was go to the apple care,one on one appointment, and it's my "software"
A man I know told me "Apple at store, won't be able to do,anything for me"
That's not very positive.
What else? Can't I download iPad drivers,into my computer?

Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the same problem and have tried just about everything for my dv9000.

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.
