You can try doing two things. First you can go into the BIOS (F10) and restore to default settings. Reboot. Assuming you have windows vista or windows 7, from within Windows go into device manager and find the usb hub(s) right click and go into properties/advanced. You will have the option to reset the hub. Do it for all hubs. Reboot. If this still does not work, then your option is to have the motherboard repaired or replaced or just get a usb external hub so you can have more ports.

Why my siyoteam 4 port usb 2.0 high speed hub not working in windows 8 hp laptop. i plug the port into the laptop but it cannot been seen in my pc, is there any thing can i do inorder this usb hub to work...

Perhaps the laptop port is designed for a usb 3.0 insert instead of a usb 2.0? Also try using compressed air to clean both connections. The hub male end and the laptop female end.

One USB port outlet of my laptop is not working.

Interestingly some USB ports can not power all accessories that are plugged in to it. Try another port, if that works you're still in business. I believe that unit has at least 4 ports to use.

HP Printer Usb port in my Acer Laptop , shortcircuits my house

hello

Try using external USB HUB (POWERED) Adapter. It might fix this issue.
Use an other USB cable and see.
If the problem still exist do not plug in the printer again, you may damage your USB port or even burn your laptop motherboard.

My usb port does not respond on my HP laptop

Hello there.

I understand that you are unable to use the USB port of your computer.

To isolate the issue try performing these steps.

1) Check whether the device is working fine.
2) Check with other USB ports to the same Notebook.
3) If these steps do not work then you can do this.
a) If your Notebook is under warranty you can send it to free repair ( Contact HP.com for more information)
b) If it is not under warranty then check for the repair cost from HP.com chat support.
