USB port has power but isn't working

Hey guys,
One of my usb ports has decided to stop working properly, I'm still able to use peripherals which ONLY require power, an example being my external fan which works fine in that port.
However, I'm unable to use my mouse or any storage device in the port.
The lights(if any) on the devices will light up as normal but will not do much other than that.
I have not made any major changes since the last time the port was successfully used, it has just stopped working.
I've restarted multiple times and the issue persists.
All other usb ports work perfectly normal, no issues.
Specs:
Pavilion DV6 7029TX
Running Windows 8 Pro 64bit
All up to date with windows updates
If any other info is required please let me know.
I'd appreciate any and all help someone may provide in helping me get to the bottom of this.
Cheers.

Hello -Brendan-,
I think we should try ALL the drivers. The Chipset drivers are the drivers for your motherboard and the other drivers are for the individual on-board devices. I am thinking we should do your Chipset drivers first and then your on-board drivers. Like building a house we should ensure the foundation is solid before adding the house on top. What I would like you to do is to download and install ALL the drivers from the HP Pavilion dv6-7029tx Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. Ensure you download and install the Chipset drivers first, after that it does not matter which order you install the drivers.
Please re-post with the results on either of the threads you have on the go. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • My usb port gives power but doesn't work

    Hello,
    I have a 13 inch Macbook pro and my usb ports stopped working yesterday they worked fine but today I plugged in my mouse but it didn't work.
    It lights up but doesnt work, after that I tried diffrent mouses same problem they light up but no movement. Reset my smc, my pram and updated Macbook to 10.7.5 still nothing. I even tried my HTC ONE X it recharged it but didn't reconize it as a phone. Help would be much apreciated.
    Thank you guys and girls in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi Nigel,
    Is machine still under warranty? I would try a OS reinstall. But its is highly likely the I/O ports have failed. They will still supply power to peripherals that are connected which is why everything still lights, but machine will not register them. The machine would require a replacement main logic board as I/O ports are connected to it. If your machine has no external damage or liquid damage then you will be covered under warranty. Otherwise it is an expensive repair unfortunately.

  • Usb port has power but wont read macbook pro

    I have a macbook pro with 2.4ghz intel core i7 mac os x version 10.7.3  and my USB ports recently stopped working.  They still power drives, but are not reading any information.  It's as if the devices do not communicate, though the powering function of the ports still works.  Any body know what I should do about this?

    This is what it says under the system profiler both when something is plugged in and not... in case that makes a difference.

  • Thunderbolt display has power but no picture and no USB power

    I've had my TB display working well with my Macbook for a while with no problems.  This morning I started up the MacBook but the display didnt respond and the USB ports do not seem to be working.  Keyboard and mouse both work when plugged directly into the MacBook but not when connected to the display.  The MacBook is charging from the display so it has power, but nothing else seem to be working.  Any ideas, or am I looking at taking it in to the local store for repair?
    Thanks,
    DB

    First try 'resetting' the Display by disconnecting it from mains for about 15 minutes and then plugging it back in. I've only had the problem that you describe once and this was the 'fix' for me.

    Hi,
    I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
    When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
    Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
    So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
    Thanks
    Tauheed Ahmad

    Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and  3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
    So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
    Thanks

  • USB ports and memory card slots not working

    My Pavilion a6120n desktop has worked brilliantly ever since I purchased it. As of last week the 2 usb ports in the front and the 2 unused usb ports in the back have stopped working. My printer is plugged into one rear port and my wireless mouse is plugged into a second rear port and these work fine.  I generally use a memory stick for data swapping or the card reader slots (which have also stopped working). I no longer see the memory card icons in the "Computer" window. When installing something new the "New Hardware Found" statement pops up but the driver install always fails. I think it is a software issue but there are no usb drivers to download on the HP/support site that I can find. . . so . . . Below is what I have tried so far.Run antivirus software. Full scan & memory scan - no issuesRun malewarebytes full scan - no issues I have tried restarting several times with no success. Restore to several previous restore points = failedRestarting computer in repair mode = failedRun the repair disk that I had made = failedChecked the power management for each usb port to see if the power was routed properly = okRemoved the case cover and carefully inspected the wiring and connectors.finally I tried uninstalling the usb drivers = failed  Upon restarting the computer the last time the startup file must have failed and after several hours of attempting a repair I had to reinstall the Window 7 completely. Still no usb or memory card function. Any help would be appreciated Thanks,MrBob38

  • Appletv 2 flashing quickly - no reponse at all -tried to unplug power but did not work.

    Appletv 2 flashing quickly - no reponse at all -tried to unplug power but did not work. What should i do?

    You'll have to connect the your ATV2 to computer via micro-usb port on the back. Open itunes and put the ATV2 in DFU mode by holding down the menu and play button for 7 seconds. Itunes should recognize the device. Once it does press the restore button,itunes will then download the latest software and reinstall it on the ATV2.  You will then have to go through the setup process again. If that doesn't fix the problem take it back the store you bought it at.

  • USB port at back of iMac stopped working except keyboard. Why?

    My USB ports on back of iMac stopped working, I can't seem to get any power from them. Only keyboard port works..
    My externals don't work neither and I got all my hard work on them. I think I've lost info?

    I have no idea what happened. However, I believe that you've got to take it back to the service provider and work with them. Call them and tell them what happened and see what kind of a response you get. You might want to try to get in touch with Apple Customer Service and see if they can help you out with the service provider.
    As for "compensation", that is probably a legal matter unless you have some kind of insurance that covers you for business losses. You might try to stress to the service provider that they should do whatever service is now needed to get the machine working again at no additional charge.

  • My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?

    My USB port on my Macbook Pro stopped working and i tried the SMC reset and the one closest to the SD port still continues to not work. Is there anything i can do besides bringing it in?

    I would do another SMC reset. If nothing changes you should take the computer in to an Apple store for a free diagnostic. You should make an appointment.

  • I have a 4th generation ipod classic (click wheel) and it's giving me a sad ipod error as well as not mounting in itunes... I hear a clicking inside when it is connected to power but nothing is working. Help!

    I have a 4th generation ipod classic (click wheel) and it's giving me a sad ipod error as well as not mounting in itunes... I hear a clicking inside when it is connected to power but nothing is working. Help!

    You won't believe this but a friend of mine (who happens to be an Apple Genius) told me to put a towel or cloth on a sturdy countertop (I know this may sound weird) but hold the selct button (in the center) and menu part of the wheel at the same time until an Apple logo comes up on the screen and then quickly turn the ipod on it's side and wack it on the counter where the towel is so as not to damage anything cosmetically. It seems the clicking is the hard drive reader is stuck and this dislodges it. Mine works now (no clicking) and all seems to be well again. Who knew?

  • USB ports in my macbook pro stop working

    For a few months now the USB ports in my Macbook Pro stop working. The mouse is unable to move the pointer, therefore, I have to use the trackpad to select things. Then, when i try to shut it down it refuses to shut down, so I have to hold the on/off button to turn it off. When I turn on the laptop, the problem goes away. It's been happening more often for the last few weeks. Is there a problem with the software or is it the fact that I never used a base to raise the laptop, until recently, to let air in below so it doesnt heat up so much?
    Any help is appreciated.

    PLEASE HELP
    my iphone 4 is out of warranty and its screen has cracked but its completely working WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO GET IT FIX ?

    $99 is the carrier's fully subsidized or discounted price which requires signing a new two year contract with the carrier. Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price which pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price off the full retail sales price has no effect on the existing contract nor requires signing a new contract with the carrier.
