The usb ports are usually soldered to the motherboard, in some cases repair shops can re solder new ones to it but sometimes its best to just replace the entire motherboard. or in this case laptop
broken usb on lenovo g550
you will have to remove the covers and the keyborad and the keyboard base plate. on lenovo g550, the single usb on the right side is replaceable easily since it is conneted with a flat cable to motherboard,but, the two usb ports on the let side are soldered on the motherboard and hence you have to remove the motherboard and desolder the broken ones and solder new cnnectors in their place. need experience in getting to e motherboard and remove it. see the youtube link for lenovo g550 laptop disassemble and assembling.mp4.
commonly this problem on the USB Port on your Laptop, for simple trying you can try every port with device well. if problem still having, you must repairing your Laptop.
Perhaps a couple of the contacts are shorted against one another. A Youtube search for disassembly of your laptop should show you how to disassemble it, but I suspect the USB ports are soldered to the motherboard.
If you can look at the broken port and cut out any loose, r shorted wire, you might get the other to work. You could also plug a self-powered USB hub into the other side, if it's working.. much cheaper than a new motherboard.
try it to a known good USB port. if still unsuccessful connect it to another PC that has a known good USB port. if still unable to work. you might have a bad USB stick..
This is actually fairly common, if the laptop still works with the broken USB socket you can take the cheap approach which is just don't use that port. If you need more ports a USB hub is pretty inexpensive.
