All (4) of the USB ports on my Dell Latitude D630 seem to have stopped working, particularly when using readers to access Micro SD. Any ideas anyone? Or is it a case of "off to the menders"?

Open the Device Manager in Windows and re-enable the USB stuff.

You may need to replace the drivers - Windows can do that for you during your "inspection" via the Device Manager. Maybe just clicking "Enable Device" will work, if it is disabled.

A "Cut and Paste" solution from google, for most windows versions:

Here's How:

  1. Click on the Start button and then choose Control Panel.
  2. Click on the System and Security link. Note: If you're viewing the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply click on Device Manager and then proceed to Step 4.
  3. In the System and Security window, click on the Device Manager link located under the System heading.
  4. You can now use Device Manager to update device drivers, view the system resources that a hardware device is using, etc.
Good luck, and come back for additional instructions if the doesn't FIXYA.com!

Do any of them work with any other equipment, or do they not work for anything? Did they all go out at once, or gradually over time?

Hi

If thay have all stopped this would point to a hardware fault but It may be worth unistalling the drivers for the USB and also checking the BIOS to make sure you have not accidently disabled them in there

    Thanks all for your advice. A process of trial & error seems to indicate that my card readers are more likely to be the problem. The ports seem to operate OK with flash drives, printers etc. albeit with some slight anomalies. Thanks again.

SOURCE: replace broken usb port on dell latitude laptop

You will have to take the machine apart somewhat, or at least to the point of being able to disconnect and remove the usb port. Here's a link to the D600 service manual download. It will guide you through the breakdown process.

SOURCE: black screen on dell latitude d630

Without a doubt it is the video processor. I'm almost certain it is the Nvidia equipped model. I've repaired three of these successfully. I've seen offers to repair them for $125. I'm not in business to do them, we have about 25 of them at work and I fix them as a value-added service to my company, which they appreciate. Repairing them is not for the average person to attempt. Many things can get broken taking them apart. Lots of screws of varying length that all must go back where the come from. I'm very familiar with component level repair (not board swapping, fixing what's wrong on them) having done this professionally since 1978. They run Windows 7 very well if updated with BIOS version A17, have a good hard drive and 4 gigs of RAM (3.5 gb available under 32 bit ver, the full 4 gig under the 64 bit version. Someone wrote that they don't run Windows 7 and I'm afraid that person is FOS. Probably worth fixing IF the case isn't cracked, battery is good, and screen isn't damaged. It's hard to chunk something that needs one hour of work to restore, most often without parts!

How do I upload pictures onto my Dell d600

If your photos are stored on a SD memory card then remove the SD memory card from the camera and insert the memory card into an USB memory card reader. Connect the USB memory card reader into the USB port of your Dell computer. The Dell wiil detect the card reader as an external storage device, you can then open the folder on the memory card that contains the photos and then copy them to your computer.

SD Cards that show Not Formatted when put into a computer . . .

Try an SD card reader, theyre only a few bucks and they practically eliminate the need for the photo software that came with your camera. I use a card reader/writer which cost about $12 at WalMart

I put my sandisk into the front of my computer, and my computer hasn't yet recognized it. How do I access my pictures?

As stupid as this sounds, make sure the micro SD is in the correct slot and fits snugly. If you find that you don't actually have a micro-sd slot, you can purchase a piece that the micro-sd goes into creating a disk that's SD size.

If that's not the problem, go to Start > Computer > and look for the removable storage device. If it shows up, dbl click on it and see if your pictures come up.

If that doesn't work, you may consider buying an external card reader that connects using a USB port on your computer. That should work. If not, there is a strong possibility your micro-sd is corrupted.

You have to drag and drop only the MP3 files into the music folder. If you have them organized and in folder by artist, drag only the MP3s into the card's Music folder.
