How to access USB socket on RHS of Asus k52d

First of all, I am assuming you are using a current laptop with USB connectors. For a corded mouse, insert the USB plug into a USB socket. After the computer recognizes the mouse, use the computer control panel software to set up the mouse. For a USB wireless mouse, insert the dongle into a USB socket. After the computer recognizes the dongle, use the computer control panel software to set up the mouse.

On the right hand side after the USB sockets there is a drop down flap. Underneath are the RJ11 modem and RJ45 network sockets.

Does the drive work with other computers? What is on the Drive? File Format? What size? Have you done ALL your Windows and Asus updates? Remove ALL media, DVD,CD,USB, shut down, unplug, remove battery, leave battery out, plug in , reboot, insert USB.

It wont work...Sorry my friend.

The header bus above is for the USB Front Panel interface:


This is included in many of the various flavors of the MoBo. If you're looking to use the MoBo connector to supply something other than this Front Panel interface, you're going to need to obtain the pinout of the jack on the motherboard and compare it to the signals required by your USB 3.0 device. The one from Asus is simply gathers the wires and forms them in a single shell - then keys the shell to prevent reverse insertion.

Think of what you have to do as the way USB 2.0 headers are provided on MoBo and the way PC cases have USB jacks built in. The USB header isn't standard; some have 9 pins - some even have 10! They can't seem to get on the same page as to how many pins are needed. The location of the signals on the header are probably different from brand to brand, too. So, the case manufacturers break up all the individual wires and label the signal so that YOU can check the MoBo manual and plug each one in to the correct pin.

the new er version of the motherbords have the usb 2.0 version if the motherboard asks for newer version i thin its better to get an usb add on card there are softwares available in market to make 1.0 to 2.0 but the result is not good

If you mean the USB panel in the front then I should say that that cord of that panel is not connected to the motherboard, to solve you problem open the case and look for that cord maybe your forgot to plug it or you plug it in a wrong socket. If you find trouble finding it please refer to the motherboard manual its everything there.

Try it in all the USB sockets available in your laptop. Try it in a desktop computer. Try a different cable.
Sometimes the USB connectors in a laptop are unable to deliver the full current rated in the USB specifications, and the drive can't start.
Also cables sometimes add to the problem, as they have too thin wires causing too much voltage drop.

These card readers normally fit the auxiliary USB socket on the motherboard. They usually take up all nine pins, four on one row and five on the other with a 10 socket plug. One pin missing on the end of a row.Such card readers have an additional external USB port as well as card reader slots. If it is just a straight five pin plug but with four wires it just fits over one side of the nine pin USB socket on the motherboard. The black wire goes at the end with the missing pin.
