Do you mean the usb ports on both sides of the notebook?
In device manager do you see universal serial bus controllers as being present?

  • K8N Neo D-bracket right usb dead after restart?

    I have k8n Neo fsr. When I restart, right usb on d-bracket is dead, until i unplug and replug device, then it functions. Why? Faulty D-Bracket or...?

    I used speedfan 4.20 a bit and deinstalled it some time ago, haven't tried 4.21. I used  only left port on d-bracket and it was ok (it it the port away from leds). Recently I started using both, and I have problems with the port closer to leds, the other one's fine. Drivers are 5.10.
    PS I tried shutting down ups and restarting, no change. I will try to unplug power cable, but I doubt that will help...

  • Is my USB dead? Any chances of revival???

    Hey Guys, first of all...I wish all a good year to start off...
    My USB on my mobo(Intel 865PE Neo2) seems dead all of a sudden . It can't detects any device I plug in. I tried pluging in my USB KB, the led on the KB lits and blinks twice and nothing happens. Tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling, it still fails me :(. Not even the D-bracket is working even though the 4 led are working. Tried my USB mouse and Keyboard on another PC, It worked perfectly. So i would appreciate if anyone  master of revival can advise me on this...whether my USB is beyond hope of revival...

    Do you have the front USB ports on your case? The reason I am asking is if you unplug all the external USB ports from the board, do the on board sockets work? If not USB is dead. Play taps and call it game over.. 
       If they start working then, plug your D-bracket back in and see if they still work, if not then the problem is in your D-bracket. If you have case mounted USB ports, then plug them back in at this point, and verify that they still work.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • 5800 USB dead

    My 5800s USB connection seems to be totally dead. I get no beep on the phone when I plug in the USB cable (tried on 3 different PCs) and I get no prompt asking what mode I want to use, i.e. PC Suite Mode, Mass Storage etc.
    The phone does not appear under "Devices and Printers" in Windows 7, nor does it appear under "Device Manager".
    So there is zero connectivity between the phone and the computer.
     I've ordered a new micro USB cable from ebay to see if it helps, but the one I am using now doesn't look damaged in any way.
     Any suggestions?

    On the chance that it is software related, try a reset. Read how to here:  /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=153614&query.id=2137397#M153614

  • XP + KT3 +USB = dead Windows event sounds

    KT3 MS-6380e ver1 (USB + SOund card event fails)
    New motheboard , new Op SYS.
    I discovered why the sound card windows
    events fail to runUnder XP
    First the USB chip is unknown to XP
    so you must load the Via VT8235 chip drivers.
    getem at Via.com...
    When they load ,you will notice that
    1- All sounds work, wav, mp3 ,ect.
    2- that all windows events ,like Ding.wav
    for critical stop ,are all dead. All Events.
    3- then when you use your first USB device, mine was the  SANDISK smartmedia device.
    As soon as it is loaded and working , magically
    the event codes are up and functioning.
    This happen on both an upgrade to XP and also
    a full virgin install.

  • Usb dead, no power to usb

    The problem is fixed, but its worthwhile passing on.
    Compaq CQ1251AN 64bit Windows 7 Desktop.
    Recently installed via USB an external Hard Drive (separate power supply)
    On boot, mouse dead, no red light under mouse, keyboard dead, could not sign on at sign on display.
    Fix.... Used 4 port USB extension with separate power to boot and sign on to PC (kbd and mouse now active)
    Then deactivate/activate USB devices via control panel.
    All fixed.

    Hello davebh,
    So it seems like the USB ports were not receiving power from the motherboard.
    The USB extension that you used I presume was connected via PCI slot? Maybe a link to the product you used?
    Either way glad to hear you found a solution to your problem.

  • Display and USB dead, but Mac Pro still running?

    Hi,
    Two days ago, my 8-core Mac Pro (early 2008) became unusable. It displays the Apple logo on grey background during startup then after a while, the rolling "circle" freezes, yet the Mac keeps booting as we can still hear the hard drive running. Sometimes, the screen blinks once or twice just before freezing, but nothing more.
    After a while, the Mac finishes booting up: its name appears in the "Shared" section of a Finder window seen from another Mac. However, I can't connect to it via "Share Screen": error message saying the Mac is unreachable. The keyboard doesn't work either cause I can't blindly use it --not even to try to restart the Mac (CTRL-EJECT + R).
    If I plug my iPhone, the battery starts charging but no synchro --I don't hear the faintest noise from the hard drive, meaning iTunes doesn't launch.
    However, I can connect to the Mac thru file sharing; once identified, all volumes appear and can be mounted and browsed normally. I also can connect thru a SSH session and pilot the Mac via the Terminal. Note: the "shutdown -r now" command seems to work as the shutting down message appears with three beeps and the Mac disappears from the Shared list mentioned above, but it doesn't turns off "physically"; fans and hard drives keep running and the front LED remains on... forever.
    All this makes me think there's something really wrong with the I/O management (except network but is it really I/O?): no display, no mouse, no keyboard (no USB).
    Of course, I zapped the PRAM, removed the extra RAM I bought two months ago, I also removed one by one the two internal hard drives and checked all possible connections. The same problem keeps happening during startup, even with only the system DVD in the superdrive --without any hard drive connected, just to be sure.
    For information, the very first problem happened while playing a game on Windows via Boot Camp: the screen froze but music and sound kept running. After three restarts --still under Boot Camp-- and a freeze a few minutes after I was back in the game, I gave up and restarted under Mac OS X. The Mac worked normally for about an hour, then crashed while I was browsing my music in iTunes. The next crashes were happening faster after each restart. And now, the Mac won't even boot normally.
    Here's my story. If one of you guys have an idea of what could be happening on my Mac Pro, I'll be very glad to read it. I'm not really keen to send it to maintenance for several reasons, one being that after not even two years of age I still consider it a "recent" computer, the other being that with the holiday season coming up, I wouldn't like to see it go away for weeks!
    One more thing I'm a freelance graphic designer, I've been working with Macs for more than 20 years and I take good care of my machines.

    Hi,
    Well, I now can say that that's also what happened to my 8800 GT.
    I finally received the ATI Radeon HD 4870 and after I've installed it, I was able to boot the Mac Pro on Windows (I got the PC version of the card so it needs to be flashed before it can be used with Mac OS X) and this time, everything went fine; I tried the games I've had problems with earlier and they all ran perfectly.
    I then successfully flashed the Radeon so it's now compatible with Mac OS X and Windows, but I still have a power problem: the card is sold with two Molex-to-PCIe cables whereas only micro PCI-e connectors are available on the Mac Pro. There's the option to use the SuperDrive's Molex connectors but there're only two of them and four are supposedly required (see note below) to sufficiently power the card. This means the picture is scrambled in Mac OS X and when trying to boot on Windows, a blinking power error message is displayed onscreen and booting stops.
    Note: in the Radeon manual, it says (with nice illustrations) that the card requires two full PCI-e cables and that Molex-to-PCI-e adapters aren't supported, *although the card is sold with two of these unsupported cables ONLY!* However, before flashing the card, Windows booted successfully with those two cables so I don't quite understand the logic behind all this...
    Anyway, I've ordered the missing full PCI-e cable (I already have the one that came with the NVidia card) on eBay (amazingly, this cable is impossible to find in France!) When I receive it, I'll post a final message in this thread to let you know if my problems are now solved.
    Thanks for reading =)

  • USB Dead All of a Sudden

    Here is the issue:
    Had two Epox boards before getting extremely upset of poor service and bought an MSI K7N2 motherboard.  Worked fine until just the other night, when ALL USB ports quit working.  Also, the onboard ehternet doesn't work.  I'm getting pretty upset with the problems I've been having with any board I seem to buy.
    Have tried CMOS settings to make sure everything is correct, and it is.  Have reinstalled Windows XP Pro, and still does not take care of the problem.  Have tried other USB devices, and still does not read ANY of them, though they still operate on other PC's.  Have installed Service Pack 1, and still does not turn USB devices on.  Ethernet lights will NOT light up.  Computers are unrecognized on a network and doesn't recognize an onboard ethernet card.
    Please help.  I have dealt with tech support on the ECS and Epox website, and both were extremely horrible.  If anyone has suggestions, I'm open to try just about anything right now.
    Mike

    I actually did nothing to the motherboard.  I just rebooted and nothing worked.  It was really strange because I was reinstalling Windows XP Pro (service pack 1 messed up...again) and when I rebooted the machine, absolutely no USB support.  I've contacted tech support at MSI, and they are recommending me to go to the BIOS to make sure everything is set ok.  There were no BIOS changes made though, unless the BIOS decided to change itself.  One other person PM'd me and said to update the BIOS, since he was having problems and when he updated the BIOS, it worked fine.  However, I'm sure that is not going to be the case since everything worked fine before that fatal reboot.
    Also, for the reply posted earlier, the D-Bracket was removed and there are still problems with USB ports.

  • USBs dead on start up

    I have an intermittent problem that the USB socket does not work reliably. The only way to fire it up is to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in, this is a bit of a pain.
    Any ideas?

    Just curious, but is this problem with one certain device?

  • USB dead on laptop - how do I migrate itunes to another laptop?

    Hi everyone. I have an ipod mini and the laptop (IBM R40) that I originally istalled itunes on and which holds all my music has "lost" all USB connections so it will not see my ipod. Being an old laptop, it has no DVDRW. How do I get my music out of my ipod onto another machine so I can continue to add to my ipod?
    At the moment I can't figure out how to do this - have not manged to buy from itunes nor copy a CD to the ipod.
    Hope you can help - thanks

    Connect your iPod to your other computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • I975X Platinum PUE - USB "dead"??

    Hello.
    I have run into a bit of a problem.
    I was watching TV on my computer for a while, and then I tried to minimize the TV window by right-clicking the mouse (Optical USB mouse - not wireless). The program didn't react, and I noticed that there was no power to the mouse.
    I rebooted, and then the light came back on to the mouse - but still, it didn't work at all.
    Also my USB hard drive that I had been using just an hour earlier, didn't get detected either.
    Luckily I have also installed an USB 2.0 pci device, and it works perfectly fine (wich is why I can post in here).
    I tried disabling the USB controller in BIOS, then reboot without the USB controller activated, and then rebooting again, and enabling the USB conotroller in BIOS, and then boot back in to windows, hoping that hardware manager would re-detect and re-install USB drivers... - it didn't help!
    A week ago, I flashed the BIOS back to the latest BETA BIOS (v7.43), so I thought that it might help flashing back to the official BIOS v7.40. So now I'm running BIOS v7.40, but that didn't help either...
    Now I fell like I have run out of things to try... - do you have any suggestions, or do you think that the USB ports "died", and I need to replace the Mother Board??
    Here's a quick overwiev of my system
    E6600 CPU
    MSI 975X Platinum Power Up Edition PCB 2.1 - BIOS v7.40
    Nvidia 8800 GTS PCIe gfx
    Enermax 465W PSU  +3.3v = 35A, +5v = 35A, +12v = 33A
    WD Raptor system hard drive 74 GB. (SATA1)
    Maxtor Diamondmax 9 120 GB IDE Hard Drive (master)
    NEC ND3500A IDE DVD burner (slave)
    Hauppauge PCI TV Tuner card
    SHG USB 2.0 + FireWire PCI card
    Windows XP pro SP2 - with all the latest updates
    EDIT: Temps (if they mean anything):
    CPU 27'C idle
    NB 39'C idle
    Case 30'C idle
    HD 28'C idle
    GFX 54'C idle

    I downloaded the trial version of a program called "USBinfo v2.0"
    I tested the harddrive connection, and the program confirmed that the disk was indeed connected to a USB 2.0 socket.
    I don't know why Windows only detected the USB ports as a USB 1.1... - but it seems to work again.
    Also, I used SiSoft Sandra to benchmark the drive, and the read speed was 32 mb/s - which I'm told also confirms that it is a USB 2.0 connection, since USB 1.1 only can transfer et 12 mb/s max. (The drive reads at 54 mb/s when connected to an internal IDE channel though, so I can't say that USB is very fast. It's a shame that an eSATA controller card is so expensive  )
    Thanks everyone for your comments 

  • USB Dead on K7N420P

    I've just upgraded my motherboard from an ASUS A7V133 to the MSI K7N420P, and can't get any USB peripherals to work - keyboad, nouse, printer, scanner.  I udated the bios from 2.0 to 2.4 but that did not help.
    The ECSD display when booting up shows the controllers as does the device manager in Windows 2000, however no USB devices are detected when they are plugged in.
    If I set USB keboard support in the bios, it does not even recognize a DEL press during boot up, and windows hangs during booting at its hardware detection stage.
    Uninstalling the USB ports is also not not possible from Device manager, another hang there.
    Any recommendations (apart from just sending it back for a refund)?

    try the complete reinstall trick in thelink  last bit of this post
    but my advice is a clean install
    some have also found leaving the add in usb out
    initially is better and has fixed recognition problems with them,just plug them in a bit later
    ive not had this problem myself but some have so remove them initially and just use the 2 on the board
    if using high power pulling usb items like my alcatel
    modem a seperate power hub is a good idea
    run a regcleaner first before doing as bas's idea
    as evan after the removal their will be lots of old references in there to previous drivers

  • My Zen Nano is dead! Help me!

    Hello there!
    I've got one Zen Nano for almost 0 months and it never gave me any trouble. It was working perfectly till yesterday.
    Today, when I tried to turn it on, it turned the backlight on, displayed the Zen Nano logo and right after it, it shut down. I've tought it was a problem with the FAT, so I tried to format it, without any success, windows explorer would freeze when I right click the dri've...
    The other thing that could be wrong, was the firmware, so I downloaded the firmware update thingy (I've done it before, but there was a new version I didn't have yet), turned it on holding the Play/Pause button to get in the recovery mode. It recognized my version and said it would update to the new one. I said ok and waited for a while.
    A few moments later it showed the following message "Error - could not perform SCSI command."
    The updated closed, and since then, my Zen Nano is completely dead.
    Is there anything I could try? Any tip? Suggestion?
    Thank you for your attention.

    I've updated to .2.blahblahblah and right after it was finished updating it turned off only to never turn on again.
    With a battery dead
    Without a battery (plugged into USB) dead
    No recovery
    No USB recognition
    It's a lifeless lump of crap right now. What a waste of money. Its only 2 months old....argh.

  • Stuck: Need Disk repair but DVD drive dead and only have USB 1

    [1 Ghz flat-panel iMac with USB 1 ports (no USB 2) and also Firewire 400]
    I noticed a strange discrepancy (small but concerning) between the size of a folder on hard drive (folder of all mp3's with no subfolders) and the backup of the same folder on a mounted thumb drive.
    (The size difference was not due to any invisible .DS_Store files and both folders are displayed in List view format.)
    Disk Utility reports three things:
    1. Incorrect number of thread records
    2. Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
    3. Checking volume information.
              Volume free block count",0)   [I might have mangled this line]
    (It should be 13438611 instead of 13437937)
    Here is the GOOD (but these are useless as explained under the "Bad"):
    - I have a Tiger 10.4 boot DVD for a repair ==>but see below
    - I also have a Disk Warrior disk (never used)
    Here is the BAD:
    - My built-in optical drive [Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-105] is -- I now discover - defunct and DEAD - it does not run the Tiger Boot DVD (in pristine shape).
    - I bought an external SuperDrive (unopened) but I believe no boot from USB 1 is possible in PowerPC so a SuperDrive with USB 1 is useless.
    Questions:
    1.) Is there any way to boot from some external source (optical drive is DEAD) to run Disk Utility and/or Disk Warrior? -- I see none in this case! (gulp).
    2.) More importantly (and this is my fundamental concern): Do the three Disk Utility hard drive issues constitute any direct threat to the integrity of my files?
    I have almost everything backed up to duplicate thumb drives over these many months as standard practice.
    Are these Disk Utility errors fully isolated to hard drive directory-keeping...or do these directory damage errors pose the possibility of mangling or harming my files or their metadata (filesize, etc.).
    Put another way, when files are backed-up from a hard drive under the Disk Utility reports above, do they remain unharmed and undamaged by the situations reported by Disk Utility?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Jeff and Michael,
    Thank you both for your generous and thoughtful input.
    Michael: As I slept on it overnight, the exact same idea occurred to me of trying a Target Mode to the iMac from my Lion MacbookPro (I have it but stupidly have yet to use it much!).
    I did buy a Firewire 800 (MBP) to Firewire 400 (iMac) adapter cable a few months ago!
    CONCERN: Would there be potential compatibility issues or risks in running Lion 10.7's Disk Utility against the hard drive of the old OSX 10.4 iMac in Target Disk Mode?
    ==> Assuming an "it's ok" answer to the Target Disk question, would the majority of users agree that the Target Disk Mode would be more prudent than running:
    fsck -fy   in Single User Mode
    I have never done fsck -fy before especially because I was under the impression there were issues with Journaled drived but from what I have read today...it looks ok to do)
    Jeff: Can't thank you enough for the reference to the OTW DVD drive. I might first invest $10 in one of those DVD lens cleaner disks that I've read about. It's probably not the issue or else why would the drive read commercial Music cds perfectly well!
    Thanks,
    Bilil

  • My ipod 1st gen battery went totally dead because the usb cable was defective. I've changed the cable.  now when i connect my ipod to the netbook, itune is not launching automatically and windows does not recognize it......how can these issues be resolved

    My ipod 32gb 1st generation battery went totally dead because the usb cable was defective.  I have since replaced the cable but now itune will not launch automatically as it did before and windows xp does not recognize it.  Nonetheless it is charging.  However can i resolve these issues bearing in mind that i am not tech savvy?

    have since replaced the cable but now itune will not launch automatically as it did before and windows xp does not recognize it. 
    Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
    Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
    Select the box next to:   Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
    That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
    And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane.
