My laptop can't write flash disk, USB modem, etc. It has 3 ports.
Firstly, it's just one port that doesn't work, then followed by two other ports.
And now all Ports don't work at all. If its ports are damaged, can they be repaired?
Hi there,Â
It seems you are having trouble with the USB ports on your PC.
I think it's a hardware failure. The USB ports are hard to get repaired, cause it is just ported and no other components, so it is very cheap, search in eBay for USB ports, get them and replace the other USB ports.
1. The front USB is connected to the motherboard via a some group of wires connected to the front side bus of the motherboard.
2. Pull the port out and unhook the port from the front side and then remove it.
3. Likewise insert the new USB port and then plug in its wires.
Note :- back USB ports are very hard to change since it is soldered to the motherboard base.
Contact your motherboard manufacturer in case.
Unfortunately, the USB ports on your computer are unrepairable because they are built-in to the motherboard. If all the USB ports on your laptop are not working, try updating your operating system to the latest Service Pack to replace and update the USB drivers currently installed on your computer. If you have Microsoft Windows XP, download Windows XP Service Pack 3.
This is the latest and last Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows XP. If you have Microsoft Windows Vista, download Windows Vista Service Pack 2. This is the latest and last Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows Vista. If you have Microsoft Windows 7, download Windows 7 Service Pack 1. This is the latest and only Service Pack update for Microsoft Windows 7.
If you have Microsoft Windows 8, you should update to Windows 8.1 to have a continued support. See if this fixes the problem with your USB ports.
