alternative to the USB port?

I connected an external DVD writer to my USB hub and used the wrong diet and two USB ports have burned.  Since nothing I plug it via USB is recognized.

Assuming that it is really dead, and replacement is too expensive to be useful this 2009 macbook (unibody A1342).

is it possible to connect to a usb to Ethernet port or Port MiniDisplay port?

Sorry for the Noob-style question

The answer is, no, I'm afraid. You will need a new motherboard to fix the problem. Visit iFixIt and see if you can buy a motherboard and replace yours, DIY.

  • iPhone 7 will not play audio via the USB port on the car.

    When I plug my iPhone USB port 7 more in my car (15 Jeep Grand Cherokee), the artist/song/podcast information appears on the screen, but the sound plays through the speakers of the phone.  I have confirmed that my settings are all the same as they were on my 6s, who played without any problems via the USB connection.  Bluetooth streaming works fine - no problems at all.  Any ideas, or is this a problem similar to that people have with CarPlay?

    Welcome to Apple Support communities, kevo.mac!

    Congratulations on your new iPhone 7 more! I see that you connect with your Jeep Grand Cherokee using the USB port. Everything seems to work fine, except that the music plays through the phone instead. I'll be happy to help you to get this working.

  • Satellite Pro M70 freezes everytime when the USB port is used

    Satellite Pro M70 (SPM76) crashes every time when the USB port is used.
    The mouse works, but external HD/Extarnal card sound/Memory stick causing the laptop to freeze. All the drivers are installed right, they are the most recent and have no trouble with other users.

    The devices are all compatible. Service pack 2 is installed, and all the hardware drivers on the toshiba have been updated... again, same problem.
    The toshiba is about 2 months old and have had this problem since I got it. First I thought it was the drvers, but I cleared of all (?) other options but the USB ports.

    Hello

    Believe me, that's not easy to say what the problem may be. It is important to see if the problem occurs because of hardware or software may be. I recommend you to backup all your data and reinstall the unit using rescue media. On this way the unit will be factory settings and will be clean preinstalled. Test your USB devices and see what happens.

    Try to use some standard like USB stick or external HARD disk parts, because in this case, you must not install any drivers please. If you use other devices like USB webcam with own software and drivers, it is possible that something goes wrong, but what. On this path, it is not possible to say.

    a 10 omni can be charged using the usb port?

    Hello

    The recommendation is to use the charger that comes with the unit. You can still use USB port to charge, BUT it can take ages to get a full charge, and this may affect your computer.

    Kind regards.

  • Where are located the USB ports?

    I think to buy the G60-216EM, but I was just wondering where the USB ports are located, because there is no 360 degree view of the laptop.

    Thank you

    There are 2 USB ports on the right side of the laptop and 1 USB port on the left side.

    I hope this helps.

    BTW...

    At the top of this page, you will find a search. Enter the number of the model of the computer and press to enter. This will take you to the support page where you can download the manuals for the laptop you want. You can read and get a pretty good handle on where everything is.

  • Satellite M30X powers off the power when you touch the USB port

    Hello everyone, just registered and it is the first problem:
    As there is no general hardware forum, I post my problem here.

    I got it twice, my laptop
    (Product: Satellite M30X, Version: PSA72E - 008010GR) just went completely off.

    Motherboard:

    NorthBridge: Intel i855GME
    SouthBridge: (ICH4-M) of 82801DBM LPC Interface Bridge
    Motherboard model: Toshiba EAL20

    USB:

    82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI controller #1-3
    Version: 1.0
    Interface: UHCI
    Frequency: 48 MHz

    82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB 2.0 EHCI controller
    Version: 2.0
    Interface: EHCI

    I have the latest Intel Chipset drivers installed and Windows XP Home SP3 with all updates.

    Once when I hit just the back USB ports with a USB plug, the other time when I unplugged my bluetooth key (climbing din't remove it).
    There was no blue screen or message of any kind, not even in the registry after you start the system again or this fatal system error box when you start after a system error.

    Just a total failure. But it works fine the rest of the time. I also tried to remake the script, but it didn't work.
    I have cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and has taken a good look, but saw no difference to the side track.
    Maybe the clamps of the wand to shield a little more out to the contact pins on the rear.

    What bothers me a bit, it's some time ago, I had the laptop one computer my knees and I forgot that a memory stick has been connected to the rear. The stick was pushed up and was slightly damaged.
    Still works well. Now for me, that I broke the USB port Insider somehing.
    I could not determine also the loose parts or unfirm at all.

    Y at - it there, diagnostic software that measures the motto of the port or power problems?
    I have a multimeter, fetch short-circuits with it?

    I saw a package of drivers Intel for USB 2.0 over there, but I can't find it on their page, advice?

    Thank you very much for your help, I just wanted to update my RAM and now I am not so shure if my laptop will last the next week.

    Fabian

    Hello

    I put t know any diagnostic software that could analyze this question, I think that a technician of the ASP may be able to provide exactly this question results

    > What bothers me a little is that some time ago, I had the laptop and my knees and I forgot that a memory stick has been connected to the rear. The stick was pushed up and was slightly damaged.

    I think this might be the reason why the laptop stopped while you touch the USB port eventually ports were damaged by using the memory stick, this could cause the laptop off

    However, what we can do is to provide some suggestions and assumptions
    It you want to know why this is happening exactly, then you need to contact a technician laptop for a control.

  • Portege M500 cannot start when the USB ports are loaded

    We have a M500 that recently seems to be affected by start-up problems when the USB ports are loaded with things like KB and Wireless Mouse USB external adapter.

    When these ports are occupied at the start, all the usual tools seem do not load and the associated icons do not appear in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. The machine in question XP Professional and has 2 GB of RAM. The machine software is generally updated. Machine seems to start normally when the USB ports are empty.

    Once completed a successful boot USB ports can be occupied and the machine will then seem to operate normally.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you.

    Hello!

    In your case, I would do a BIOS update and also the chipset driver.
    The two you can find on the Toshiba site. I m not sure but I think you have a model for Canada:

    Have you tested the devices USB on another computer laptop or PC? Maybe the problem is the keyboard and/or the mouse and not the laptop.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200 - 26 d - error code 19 Device Manager on the USB ports

    I decided to try Windows 7, but the usb ports do not work in Device Manager all the usb root hubs have a yellow triangle and the State of the device says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) ».

    I tried to uninstall via the Device Manager and restart the computer and download and reinstall the drivers for vista, because I can't seem to find the drivers for Windows 7, but none of this fixed anything. I was wondering if there was something else I could try or if I could get a link for the correct drivers.

    Hey JP317!

    If it didn t work removing the USB ports in Device Manager and restart the laptop, you should try to update the chipset drivers because they are usually a part of it.

    So check the site Web of Intel for an update and you should also find Windows 7 drivers.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know!
