  • Hp Pavilion DV4-1235ee No sound & Usb port not detecting.

    In my laptop Hp Pavilion dv4-1235ee there is no sound coming from the internal speakers. If I connect external speaker its works fine. Usb port is not detecting now. any help will be appreciated.

    What is the current Operating system on your notebook? I suspect we have issue with internal speaker on hand...but would like to reinstall the Audio Driver and check...
    Again for the USB, we can try and install Chipset driver and check...

  • Firewire and USB ports not recognizing devices

    All of a sudden, some of our MacBooks don't recognize firewire and usb devices. It's weird, but after about a week, one of the MacBooks suddenly started recognizing a video camera, again, but it's troubling because my users need to be able to import movies and pictures from digital devices.
    We ran the updates, and it did not help. We have been using these devices with our MacBooks for over a year, and this happened at the worst possible time. Any ideas?
    I've tried both self- and AC-powered devices, rebooted, powered off and on, made sure everything is plugged in, etc.

    Try Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • 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.
    Help me please! greetings thanks!

    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 not working in Windows-7 on MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013 after Bootcamp installation

    1) INSTALLATION
    Using Bootcamp (v. 5.1.1, OS X Mavericks) in combination with an original Microsoft installation DVD disc using an external optical CD/DVD drive. Note, the installation is NOT from an ISO image. In the Bootcamp setup window only the lower two of the three setup options are clicked, namely a) to download Windows-7 drivers to a USB stick, and b) to partition the harddrive and then to install Windows.
    2) PROBLEM
    After the initial Windows-7 installation no devices attached to the USB ports can be found under Windows-7. The ports are dead. Also the WLAN did not work, so no internet connection was possible.
    3) CAUSE
    The problem is caused when you use a USB 3.0 stick as destination for the Bootcamp driver downloads. It seems that Windows-7 cannot recognize the USB 3.0 stick properly during the Bootcamp/Windows installation process, thus failing to do perform a proper installation of the Windows-7 drivers.
    4) SOLUTION
    Use a USB 2.0 stick and everything will work perfectly.
    Follow these steps in order:
    1) Connect your external DVD drive to a USB port and insert the Windows installation disc
    2) Start the Bootcamp utility
    3) In Bootcamp, remove the failed Windows-7 installation and partition
    4) In Bootcamp, redo the entire Bootcamp process, but this time using a USB 2.0 stick
    5) Follow all further steps in Bootcamp and later in the Windows-7 installation process
    6) At the end of the installation procedures you will be asked to confirm the installation of all Bootcamp/Windows drivers.
    7) Bootcamp installs all the drivers and your Windows-7 installation will work perfectly.

    Ok, where is this Intel driver? There is no such thing "program manager" so I am guessing you mean the Programs and features control panel, but on my machine that whole window is blank after a clean install. I still cannot get the USB ports to activate. Two fresh installs and several different USB sticks later and no luck.  Should I just give up and go to Windows 8.1?  I really need Windows 7 to work if at all possible. Other devices shows one USB controller without driver software so I suppose that's the culprit. There are other USB devices installed under the USB section of Device Manager, but they apparently have nothing to do with the USB ports themselves, just devices like the trackpad etc.  I've spent two hours on this so far and it's getting out of control.  Why doesn't this work with generic USB drivers?

    Hi,
    What about if you try to install drivers from your product's page?
    http://uk.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-5.html#down-driver
    And when exactly it starts to fail to work? Did you try to have OS just installed, restart it and see if it works then? Are you able to determine which driver installation causes USBs to stop working?
    thank you
    i just remove USB3 controller driver and work 
    thank you all :D

  • Touchsmart TX-2 fingerprint scanner and USB ports not working

    Hi everyone,
    Please forgive me if this is in the wrong spot.
    Just sent my laptop (Touchsmart TX-2 1015au) off for a warranty fix - told them the USB ports weren't working on Windows 7, 64 bit. It came back wiped, running on Vista 32 bit and.....with the USB ports not working.
    I figured I'd try to get it working because I need my laptop for uni and can't send it back right now. So I clean installed Windows 7, 64 bit again and its still not working. Did the standard open device manager and uninstall everything under the usb tab. All that has resulted in is causing the fingerprint scanner to stop working (being told that it is not connected) and still no working USB ports.
    All advice really welcome and very much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    Hi:
    Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on that model.
    Just use all of the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.
    Your model uses the Intel HD graphics driver only.
    The first driver you have to install is the Intel chipset installation utility and then reboot.
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/swdHome/?cc=us&lang=en&sp4ts.oid=5359407&ac.ad...
    Audio:  Accept the agreement.  Download and install the first driver on the list.
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT...
    If for some reason, the Intel HD graphics driver from that model does not work, then use this one...

  • USB ports not working in safe mode

  • Split x2 problem with USB ports not working

    My computer is somewhat new and this problem has been happening since I first got it.  I couldn't find anything about this problem here or elsewhere online.
    When I plug anything into either USB port (I've tried my phone and an external harddrive) the computer like sort of recognizes it on and off.  When I plug in my phone the computer beeps at random every several seconds and doesn't recognize it.  The external hard drive was sort of recognized but only on and off and I couldn't move things from it to my computer because it wouldn't stay connected long enough.  It's literally like every 2-3 seconds it recognizes the USB thing, changes it's mind and then recognizes it again, etc. forever.
    I haven't had a chance to test the SD card slot or the HDMI port yet.
    Sometimes the mouse freezes also, I'm not sure if this is the same problem (related to connection between the tablet and the keyboard parts) or if these are separate problems.  It seems to be happening less often and goes away if I wait for a moment.  Still annoying but the USB ports not functioning is a more urgent issue.
    I need help, is there a way to fix this or is something faulty with my computer?

  • 2010 i5 MBP USB Ports Not The Same?  Griffin iMic Issue

    I have a 2010 15" i5 MBP. I got one of the white iMics and it works fine on the port thats closest to the screen. However, when I plug it in to the port that's closer to the SD slot, it doesn't work. Under the audio settings screen, I see the iMic under Input, and the slider is to the right, but the VU meter doesn't register anything. However, when it's in the USB port by the power adapter, it works as it should.
    I have read that certain model MBPs have USB ports that are not the same, and some people have problems with programs like Serato when it's plugged into the front port. Traktor and Serato have even mentioned that on the MBP there is one "good" port and one "bad" port.
    Curious if anyone else noticed this. Again, it seems to only affect 2010 i5 MBPs.

    Hi WebBrowser2,
    As I understand your query its not a single doubt you are having at all, actually it’s a bunch of multiple doubt you are carrying here in your mind allied to Mac Book Pro (USB Ports are not working).  There might be various reasons behind- not working of USB ports in Mac Book Pro, as you already had searched out various ways to fix all your issues. A few months ago, I faced the same issue as my USB port was suddenly stopped to respond, then I also tried to find various ways to get rid of this issue, and I found an informative blog link which has fixed this issue and make me tension free.
    For more information visit at- http://www.olmtopsts.com/blogs/when-macbook-pro-usb-ports-not-working.html
    And I am hoping- it will assist you in the same way as it assists me.

  • USB Port not recognising (MBP Late 2011)

    USB Port not recognising iPhone or External Hard Drives. But working with Flash Drives!! (Both not working) (MBP Late 2011)
    MBP Late 2011
    OSX 10.8.3
    2.2GHz Intel Core i7
    8GB 1333MHz DDR3

    Yes, Box is checked. I've used many hard drives on my laptop both through firewire and USB I own about 4 hard drives through all different sizes and none of them work (started to happen about a week ago)
    iPhone:
    No nothing happens when my iPhone is plugged in. No charging, not syncing, iTunes doesn't recongise anything is there and my dropbox account which downloads the photos doesn't see its there, iPhoto and Aperture don't see my phone.
    However My Girlfriend has a Macbook (white 2009) I plug everything into her laptop and everything works, chargers and reads. so its not the perferials or cables.
    I know how to use Macs and PC very well and I have tried resetting and turning it back on whilst holding
    Command>Option>P+R
    and un plugged the charger shut it down, plug it back in and turn it on again. but nothing works...

  • USB Ports not working with specific devices

    So this one has me scratching my head. My USB ports on the back of my iMac are working except for a few devices. 1 being a logitech USB receiver, and 1 being a usb mp3 player. When I plug the received into the iMac the keyboard won't work, but when I plug my USB hub into the same USB port and the receiver into the hub it works fine. The mp3 player isn't working in any usb/hub (so that's a mook point).
    Here's what I've tried to resolve this issue:
    1. Reset iMac
    2. Reset PRAM
    3. Try every usb port on the back of the iMac
    None of these have fixed my issue. Plugging it into the hub isn't a huge deal, but I'd like the option to use my USB ports as I wish without having to deal with this. Anyone have advice on a solution?

    It is not a matter of using your USB ports as you wish, it is a matter of what you are plugging into them and the power demands that what you plug into them makes on the system.
    Not all USB ports or devices are created equal. How many ports are you using? What exactly are you plugging into the ports? What is the power demand of each item that you are plugging into each port? Are any of the USB devices self powered from their own separate power supply? Are all of the devices dependent upon the iMac for power?
    It sounds to me that you have too many high power devices demanding more power through the ports than the iMac can accommodate. Is the USB hub self powered? If so, that is probably why it resolves your issue with the Logitech Unified receiver. There is very little info on this device on the Logitech website, so I could not ascertain its power demands.

  • Left hand USB port not recognising all devices

    Hi, I have a MacBook Pro that I bought in November.
    I've noticed in the last few days that USB devices connected to the port on the left hand side (i.e. next to power socket) are not always being recognised. So, for example, it sees my iPod and Mighty Mouse, but not my Nikon camera.
    What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

    The dealer is correct in that Apple provide the same specs for each usb port - 500mA. However experience has shown that most often there is a difference between the ports. Apparently there is virtually no margin above the 500mA on MBP's. There may be some other circuitry difference causing the lesser performance from the LH port. It probably doesn't need much to make the difference with plugins close to the 500mA max.
    For my optical Logitech mouse the difference seems to be that the mouse must be used on the same side of the computer as the usb module to work reliably though it doesn't matter which port if I'm happy to use it & the module on the LH side of the computer. This is not a problem with the MBP in this instance.
    My WD My Book Essentials external drive works fine on the LH side port.
    I have not yet seen anywhere any objective test of the power output from the 2 ports. I would be interested in the results.
