K450 USB Ports and Card Readers not working

When I plug in devices to my K450 ideacentre desktop USB ports, they are not recognized. The same for a couple of memory cards I have tried in the card reader. These are all working fine when put in other computers. The card reader and USB ports do work when I insert a multi card reader into the USB port or a multi USB port into the USB port (and then use either of those to read the same external hard drive or memory cards that don't show up when installed directly). Any idea what this could be? I'm sure it's something simple that I'm missing but I can't figure it out. I'm running Windows 8. Thanks for any help!

I wanted to add to this...I did plug in a CF card the other day and that was recognized. I then tried my external hard drive directly again in a front USB port and it worked for a while (an hour or so). Then it suddenly was not there anymore as if I'd ejected it even though I didn't. Tried to put it back in and nothing. This tells me it may be a hardware problem since it "recognized" it for a bit. It's very frustrating.

Envy 15 AMD A10 USB ports and fingerprint scanner not working

Hi
I've had my HP envy 15 about 2 months now and today all the USB ports as well as the fingerprint scanner stopped working. In the device manager I have 6 entries under the USB headding, all have yellow triangles next to them, all display an error code 19 in the properties.
I have tried uninstalling the devices in device manager and then performing a hard reset. I've attempted to locate the usb 3.0 host controlers for my laptop, but I've had no joy and I've tried running both the Microsoft and HP update facalities to try and force a driver update but so far nothing.
Somebody please help because I'm banging my head against the wall at this point.

Hello, @LeapM
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you cannot use any USB ports or the fingerprint scanner. That you have error code 19. I will try to assist you with this.
Here is a Microsoft document that may help you: Error codes in Device Manager in Windows. It will explain what the error code is and provide steps to try and resolve.
Let me know how this goes for you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Sound issues; slow response; usb ports unreliable and sd reader not working

The PC is a HP TouchSmart envy about 18 months old. Soon after purchasing I upgraded to Win 8.1.
About three or four months -ago probably after a Win update was installed- I began to have Sound issues (including not able to conect my external powered speakers any more- they used to work brilliantly and initially no sound at all but I went into settings and changed something and every now and again I have to do that again to get the PC speakers to work) ; slow response; usb ports unreliable, sd reader not working- as well as issues with the internet - the modem actually. It is easier to get on to a tablet and use the internet as my PC can be really slow. As well I have uninstalled Chrome and am using Explorer as this seems a little better but I miss Chrome.
I was advised by tech at Hervey Norman that I had to do a complete system restore but in order to do that I would need the recovery discs from HP? Is that correct? How do I do this?
PS I did not make recovery discs when I first purchased the machine. (Very sad!!!)
Help!!!

Hi again Alfriston,
Thank you for the clarification!
To return your computer's audio back to functional order, I recommend removing the audio driver from the operating system previous to upgrading to Windows 8.1, and installing the driver provided in this link.
If re-installing the driver does not resolve the issue, I suggest following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8).
In regards to the USB ports, I recommend following this resource on Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 8), which should help consistently connect your USB devices to your computer.
To prevent your computer from lagging or responding in a slow manner, please follow the step in this document on Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8) to help improve the speed and efficiency of the operating system.
To further diagnose the issue with your desktop's SD card reader, I recommend following this resource on Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers (Windows 8).
If your desktop still experiences issues with the audio, USB connections, speed and performance, as well as the SD card reader, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

HT201257 How can I run the hardware test when my USB ports and bluetooth doesn't work?

The USB ports and the Bluetooth suddenly will not work on my Mac Mini (2008). There is very little I can do except using Remote Desktop. To run the Hardware Test, the D key has to be pressed during startup. I got no key to press. Is there any other way to do this?

Sorry, focused on bluetooth issue. If USB and bluetooth are knackered, try an SMC reset:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

USB ports and sound have stopped working

As the subject reads, all 3 of my USB ports have stopped working and all sound. In the device manager I receive a (code 10) for realtek high definition audio. I have done everything I can think of at this point, I have even done a complete OS reinstall. Afterwards I have also updated with every possible driver file I can find from realtek and toshiba, I really don't know what else to do at this point, any thoughts? advice? anybody else with this problem?
Windows 7
Toshiba Satellite
L505D-S5983

Same here. I have an L505D that is doing the same exact thing. No sound device, all USB ports not working and the SD card reader not working either. Also when you close the lid and reopen it, the machine won't wake up. Have to restart to get it to come back. Haven't found ANYTHING in forums to help.
Sound devices, USB ports and SD card doesn't show up in the Device Manager.
Took the laptop to a local fixer-upper. Unhooked the charger, took battery out, put battery back in, then restarted the laptop without being hooked up to the charger and everything came back on. But only for a short while. After a couple of days, it does its thing all over again.
Are we looking at a mother board issue here? SURELY someone out there in cyber space has a solution.

USB ports on my iMac not working

I tried to connect a battery from something else through a USB port on my iMac and there was a prompt that "the device was drawing too much power and that the USB port will be shut down". I, being foolish enough,plugged it in the other USB port and the same thing happened and this time the computer automatically shut down. I turned it on and neither of the 2 USB ports (out of the total 4) have been working since then.
I tried shutting the the computer down and restarting after an hour but they're still not working. Does anyone know how to fix this!!!

Sounds like the port overload protection for those ports has tripped.
Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Then if that does not reset them, disconnect everything and let the iMac sit disconnected for 10 or 15 minutes.

Sound, USB Ports, and Wireless don't work.

I installed Windows XP on my MacBook, but when I switch to Windows the sound doesn't work, the USB ports don't read my flash drives, and the built in wireless don't work. I can't connect to the internet to download drivers, if they're needed. Can anyone tell me what to do?

the drivers are on the DVD that came with your computer.

Sd card reader & USB port (right side only) not working

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro 15" retina display with OS Moutain Lion. The SD card reader and USB port on the right side of the computer do not work. I've restarted the computer numerous times, tried to reimage the computer with the Control+R during restart (didn't allow for update because Mountain Lion was loaded on the system), and downloaded with the latest updates but they still do not work. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan so Apple Support calling me back isn't going to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello :
TNX for your reply.
Unfortunately, I do not own a 2 gig mem card to test with. What perplexes me is that when I watch device manager and open properties boxes for the USB dev, SMSC-2228 dev, and the newly created disks, the Win XP drivers do indeed load, but watching it do so is sloooooooowwwwwww. Slow as in 3 - 5 minutes for the win drivers to load in place. Funny thing is, an xD mem card or Memory stick initialize, set up properly in a matter of at most 5 - 10 seconds or so. The only card type I have a problem with is THE MOST COMMON ONE, the SD card. Maybe a Micro/Mickey soft thing? Some info I found on the SMSC controller claims it supports the larger sd card sizes, so I think this is a Micro / Mickey soft thing. I guess I need to search for some better drivers somewhere.
TNX for now

B570 USB ports and card reader result in error of "not accessble" until system is restarted

Hello,
I have a new IdeaPad B570. Whenever I plug in my external hdd or other device (like iPod) in any of the three usb ports I get an error that the drive is not accessible...until I restart the computer and then it recognizes it with no problem. The same thing happens when I put my SD camera card into the card reader. This is annoying for things that should be plug and play. However, when I plug in a mouse it connects immediately.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!
Marcy

Need help one USB Port on MacBook Pro not working

Its been a weak now and im getting tired of my MacBook pro USB not reading anything.. It wont read/connect usb drives, IPods/IPhones/IPads, and Android phones. I have tried the PRAM and SMC resets and nothing has worked i even left my Macbook pro off for a whole day. ITS ONLY ONE PORT NOT WORKING, i took it to bestbuy because its closest to me but geek squad just did what i explained above and told me get a USB hub and NO! i want to fix this issue... Anyone has had this happen can you let me know if its because the USB port is no longer working or a software issue... Also i keep getting this notification telling me USB devices disabled draining to much power but i have nothing connected!!
ps- my MacBook Pro is getting very hot fast and it happens when im not even using it, i get home and it very hot could there be another hardware failure i dont leave applications open when i sleep it.

It sounds like you might have a hardware problem. Your best bet is to go to the Genius Bar. The evaluation is free, and they'll fix it if you're under Applecare. Back up your stuff first though.

Qosmio F60 - USB ports & touch keys are not working

Hi,
After a clean install (win 7 home prem), i found most of the drivers, but still have following problems.
1) when i hook up my external hdd or any device to any usb port, although it powers and tries to read, but does not show in my computer and does not work
2) the touch keys (eco, wireless, media buttons) dont work. After installing value added pack, it opens up a button assignment tool and asks me for input for button assignment
3) The reason for clean install was new 250gig SDD to replace my 750gb toshiba hdd. this is the 3rd time hdd has corrupted in 2 years (not happy), however, the ssd halts the laptop as well, and i have to restart
Your help is much appreciated.

Do you have the latest firmware on the SSD?
Have you installed all the drivers and software listed on the Toshiba website? Make sure you install the Intel Chipset utility first, then TVAP second.
Also make sure you have Win7 Service Pack 1 before installing drivers, and update the BIOS to the latest revision.
If you still can't get it working, you can order the Recovery Discs from Toshiba and install the factory image on the SSD so everything works properly.

USB ports and inbuilt webcam stopped working

I updated to 8.1 a few months ago and everythings been fine until now, I haven't downloaded anything at all lately
except borderlands 2 from steam which i was playing w/ a wireless USB mouse, until my laptop gave me a low battery warning so i closed it without turning it off and put it to a side.
Later I put the laptop on charge and opened it w/ my ipod charger and USB mouse attached and the ports just weren't
working.
I booted the laptop into diagnostic mode and the ports worked, i could use the mouse and my iPod was charging. I
ran tests on all 3 ports to and all 3 passed, but when i boot the pc into normal mode they don't work at all, so I'm thinking that it's a problem w/ the software & not the ports/camera themselves.
I've tried:
Turning off the USB selective suspend setting
Uninstalling the USB ports in device manager and rebooting (camera isnt showing up in dev mgr at all)
Updating/re-installing the drivers (from both HP and Intel websites)
Doing a system restore
There is a section in device manager called Other Devices containing "Unknown Device" and "Unknown USB Device (Configuration descriptor request failed)" (both w/ yellow exclamation points)
My laptop is a HP 250 G1 Notebook PC

Hi,
Meanwhile, please reinstall the usb controller and check the result:
First, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
a) In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the Host Controller, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
b) Repeat the step 2 to uninstall all items under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
Then, restart your computer.
Please also make sure you update to latest BIOS, you can refer to the user manual or the manufacture website since this operation might contain some risks.
