SOURCE: my usb ports aren't working at all

try reinstalling the chipset drivers from

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?os=WW1&osl=EN&catid=27&impid=-1&servicetag=&SystemID=PLX_GX620&hidos=WW1&hidlang=en

Select the Operating system
The Category as Chipset
Importance should be All
Click on the Intel driver
Download now
File name is R132539.EXE

If this does not work you will be having 2 usb at the back and in the front of the system.IF the back does not work than you need to get a local tech out at your place as it is a problem with the USB controller on the motherboard and that might have to be replced .If it is the front USB (Only if you have them) then there is a cable coming from the USB controller to the fromnt usb ports that cable might have got unplugged for that you need to open the tower.But i would still recommend a local tech.

SOURCE: Aspire 3610 USB ports

I think you might have a loose cononection for the data ports. Try putting a little bit of force on the usb device. Up, down left right. NOT ALOT. If it starts working when force is used, i tihnk you should try to take it apart and resolder the connections. If it dosen't work, uninstalling the driver and installing.

SOURCE: Dell Dimension 2400

You may want to temporarily connect a PS2 mouse (and keyboard if you wish)
The PS2 connectors are round, a purple one for the keyboard and green for the mouse.

If you have the original Dell disks that came with the system, one will be a driver disk (don't accidentally re-install windows from the other disk).

most drivers are available at:

SOURCE: My USB ports no longer detect devices when plugged in.

Updating, or in some cases reinstalling, the drivers for your computer's USB interface should resolve this issue.
Locate the iPod in Device Manager

  1. Connect iPod to the computer.
  2. Quit iTunes if it launches.
  3. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
  4. In Control Panel, open Administrative Tools. Note: If you don't see Administrative Tools, look at the left column in Control Panel for a link that says, "Switch to Classic View," and click it.
  5. Double click the Computer Management shortcut.
  6. In the left column, click on Device Manager.
  7. In the right column, click the plus (+) icon next to Universal Serial Bus controllers to expand this selection.
  8. Locate the iPod in this list. In some cases one of the entries will have "iPod" in its name. If no such entries are present, the iPod is most likely represented by "USB Mass Storage Device."
  9. Note: A red "X" appearing next to the iPod's entry in Device Manager indicates this device is disabled. To enable this device, right-click its entry in Device Manager and choose Enable from the shortcut menu.
  10. Update the USB driver
    1. Right-click the iPod's entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
    2. In the Hardware Update Wizard that appears, select "Yes, this time only" to allow Windows to connect to the Windows Update Website. Click Next.
    3. Select "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" and click Next. Windows searches for updated drivers and installs any it finds. If Windows is unable to find updated drivers on its own, continue with step #4.
    4. Click Back.
    5. Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click Next.
    6. Select "Search for the best driver in these locations."
    7. Select "Include this location in the search" and type the following in the field below: C:\Windows\INF
  11. Click Next. Windows searches this location for drivers and installs any it finds. If Windows is unable to find updated drivers on its own, you must reinstall the USB drivers as shown below.
  12. Note: During installation, if a message appears stating that the software you are installing "has not passed Windows Logo testing" click Continue Anyway to continue installing the drivers.
  13. Reinstall USB driver
    1. Right-click the iPod's entry in Device Manager and choose Uninstall from the shortcut menu.
    2. In the resulting dialog box, click OK.
    3. In the Device Manager window, right-click Universal Serial Bus controllers and choose Scan for hardware changes from the shortcut menu.
    4. Windows automatically reinstalls the necessary USB drivers and attempt to remount the iPod. Regards...

My HP wireless mouse does not work. I've tried all
Did it used to work and stopped? I'm ruling out the obvious, replacing the batteries. I would check the Device Manager to see if when you insert the mouse's receiver USB plug, that the device is recognized, and also the driver is properly working. I'm guessing you tried that already... Last resort I would open the mouse and look for any problems with the hardware, and also see if the USB plug is disconnected on the inside. It's also possible for a USB port to "burn up" the trace on the board. This happened to mine for the ports on the top and also thought it was my mouse. I found out that the USB port inside the computer on the top were shorting out the small circuit board. So What I did was remove the small circuit board for the USB ports, and solder in a jumper wire to bridge the gap that was burned out. The cause, dust. I recommend blowing out the case every 3-5 months while it is unplugged with either duster or a compressed air gun preferably. I hope this helps you.

Keyboard and touchpad not working on macbook a1181 but power botton work fine
I've found the same problem - keyboard, touchpad and mouse buttons not responsive - and was almost ordering a new KB/touchpad replacement, thinking they were bad. I searched the internet and found that people had already done that with negative results. Studying the KB/touchpad circuit board I found that the controller was a USB device. So I had an idea, why not test it using one external USB port. I soldered the proper wires to a USB plug and connected it to a side USB port and, voil?!, it worked. Then, I removed 2 inductors from the original D+ and D- lines to isolate the KB/touchpad connector and soldered 2 pieces of wire to one of the side USB ports - in sequence, I covered that port with a small aluminum plate to avoid it being used for another device. Reassembled the computer and everything is working fine, back to normal (with one less USB port, of course).

My logitech mouse M215 is not working, at first i taught that it was just the battery but when i replace it instead of having a yellow light in the led it appears to be orange, i just want to know what is...

This problem is likely to be a lost connection. The connection between the mouse and the USB receiver can be lost due to several reasons such as:

  • Low battery
  • Moving the USB receiver from one USB port to another
  • Moving the USB receiver to another computer
  • Plugging the USB receiver into a USB hub or other unsupported device such as a KVM switch (your Unifying USB receiver must be plugged directly into your computer)
  • Using your cordless mouse on metal surfaces
  • Radio frequency (RF) interference of more powerful wireless devices such as:
    • Wireless speakers
    • Computer power supplies
    • Monitors
    • Cellular telephones
    • Garage door openers

Eliminate any problem sources mentioned above that might be affecting your device.

Plz help me i want connect wire less keybroad and mouse thnksvjtawale2gmail.com
There are 4 possible ways in my awareness...
Method 1: Resynchronize your device with the receiver To resynchronize the mouse or the keyboard with the receiver, follow these steps. Note When you synchronize the mouse or the keyboard with the receiver, put the device near the receiver and put any other wireless keyboards and mouse at least 6 feet away.
  1. Press the button on the receiver, and then verify that the light on the receiver starts to blink.

    Note Some newer Microsoft devices are permanently bound to their receiver and cannot be reset. If your device does not have a button, skip to Method 2.
  2. If a dialog box appears on the screen in several seconds, follow the instructions that appear on the screen. Otherwise, go to the next step.
  3. Press and release the Connect Channel button on the bottom of the mouse or the keyboard.
  4. Check the green light on the receiver. A steady green light means the synchronization was successful. If the problem persists, try steps 1 through 4 again.
  5. For the Wireless Notebook mouse: This issue can occur if the micro-switch on the bottom of the mouse is not released. Use a pin or a pen to try to release the button if it is depressed.
The following example shows the buttons to push to synchronize a wireless hardware device:

Receiver Bottom of the mouse: The connect channel button Different kind of receiver Collapse this imageExpand this image 838398_receiver.jpg Collapse this imageExpand this image 838398_mouse_bottom.jpg Collapse this imageExpand this image 838398_portable_receiver.jpg Method 2: Try different portsTo determine whether the problem is related to the ports on the computer, use only the two cables that are included with the wireless desktop receiver, or the single cable that is included with a mouse. USB keyboard and USB mouseIf the USB cable is currently connected to a USB hub, disconnect the device from the hub, and then connect it to a USB port on the computer. If your device is already connected to a USB port on the computer, try to connect the device to a different USB port if one is available.

Note Only one USB connection to the computer is required, even if your device has two USB plugs. If the problem persists, disconnect other USB devices and connect only the USB plug from the receiver to a USB port on the computer. PS/2 devices Warning If you have to change a PS/2 connection, shut off the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer. Do not plug a PS/2 device into the PS/2 port while the computer is running.If your devices are connected to PS/2 ports on the computer, verify that you have the following configurations:
  • Verify that the USB plug for your mouse is connected to the green USB-to-PS/2 adapter and that this adapter is plugged in the mouse PS/2 port on the computer. The mouse PS/2 port on the computer may also be green. If you are not sure which PS/2 port is the mouse PS/2 port, see the documentation that was included with the computer.
  • Verify that the USB plug for the keyboard is connected to the purple USB-to-PS/2 adapter and that this adapter is plugged in the keyboard PS/2 port on the computer. The keyboard PS/2 port on the computer may also be purple. If you are not sure which PS/2 port is the keyboard PS/2 port, see the documentation that was included with the computer.
If you have to change your configuration, shut down the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer. If your mouse or keyboard has both USB and PS/2 connections, try using the other connection. PS/2 keyboard and USB mouseIf you are using a wireless mouse with a USB connector and a PS/2 keyboard, verify that the USB mouse is plugged in a USB port on the computer and that the purple keyboard PS/2 plug is connected to the purple PS/2 port on the computer. If you have to change the PS/2 connection, shut off the computer, make the changes, and then restart the computer. Method 3: Reinsert the batteries or install fresh batteriesBoth the wireless keyboard and the wireless mouse rely on AA alkaline batteries for power. Remove the batteries, and then insert them again. If the problem persists, install a fresh set of batteries in the device that you are having problems with. Method 4: Check for interferenceItems such as wireless routers, radios, cell phones, desktop fans, fluorescent lights, and large metal objects like computer cases and metal furniture may interfere with the signal of the keyboard. Try to keep such items away from the keyboard, and check the behavior of the keyboard.

Do not put the mouse or the receiver near any electrical devices, especially transmitters such as cordless or cellular telephones or other wireless mouse devices or receivers. A distance of at least 8 to 12 inches is recommended. Do not put the mouse or the receiver on metallic surfaces or objects, especially long metallic rails or cables. We recommend that you keep the mouse and the keyboard a minimum of 3 feet from metallic objects.

Ps2 port doesn't recognize Microsoft Optical mouse
You might think about a USB hub for all your USB devices. ps2 port is more or less dedicated for mouse, which is why your mouse pointer is stuck in the middle of the screen. Go ahead and get an externally powered USB Hub to power other USB devices. To answer, ps2 for mouse needs just a mouse, not USB device.

Logitech cordless mouse is not working.
It could be the receiver is bad or the driver is not properly installed. Try to uninstall/reinstall the driver. Try also connecting the receiver into different USB ports of your computer

If same problem occurs, try installing the driver and connect the receiver into another computer to isolate the problem. You can uninstall the software after that.

If same thing happens, then contact the manufacturer to RMA the device.

Have a great day!
