Hardware / USB port issues

Hi, I have problems with my USB port. I don't know when it started, or even what it triggered. But everyonce in a while my computer makes a noise that she would normally do if I have something plugged into my USB port. The non-existent device then disconnect itself. Also shows the icon in the lower right corner. When I mouse over the icon, it says 'remove hardware safely '. I tried to turn off my computer and also plug things into my USB port. Nothing works! It is so frustrating, so I decided to keep everything my sound turned off all the time. I have an Inspiron 1535 with Windows Vista. Any suggestions or ideas? It would be very appreciated :)

Hi Steph0219,

 

Method 1: Reinstall the USB (Universal Serial Bus) controller.

 First of all, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

(a) click on 'Start', type device manager in the search bar and press "Enter." If necessary, click on continue.

(b) in Device Manager, double-click to expand the "USB Bus controllers", right-click on the "host controller", click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

(c) repeat step 2 to uninstall all items under 'USB Bus controllers'.

 

Then, restart your computer and windows will automatically reinstall all USB controllers.

  • Satellite A300 - USB port and fingerprints issue

    Hello

    I'm starting this thread that I have problems with my fingerprint reader and my USB port.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-C01 laoptop. It was purchased in September of last year. I have not used it much except for the first week I had it, I've been away (Overseas), and I didn't take my laptop with me (I took a former I). There is no chance that the laptop has been used so that I was absent because I live alone and that the cell phone was simply sitting in the computer room.

    I started using it again about 3 weeks. Around a week ago, I noticed a pop-up (bottom left of the screen) telling me that a USB port had problems. I put my FlashDrive on the first USB port and at first, it was not recognized. I tried with another flash drive I have and who has been recognized. However, every time I start the computer I get who pop up telling me that there is a problem with the USB port.

    I also met a problem with the fingerprint reader. A pop up appears in the lower left side of the screen and say that the fingerprint reader was having problems. Happened since then that the problem with my USB port began to appear. About an hour ago, I checked the Device Manager and the fingerprints fingerprints/biometrics scanner does not appear in Device Manager.

    Has anyone else had this type of problem?

    What did you do to solve it?

    I would appreciate comments that I have no other choice at this time until Monday when the Toshiba support is available (they are available Monday to Friday).

    Thanks in advance,

    Deanne.

    First of all, you should try to update the chipset drivers and software of fingerprint. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    If it doesn't work you should try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.

    In the worst case, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba recovery disc. So you can make sure if it s a hardware issue or not.

  • USB ports do not recognize hardware

    I have a desktop running Windows XP and a few months ago he suddenly stopped to recognize the external hardware on 2 of the 4 USB ports.  The two other USB ports work.  Is this a software problem or could the two USB port went bad at the same time?  I plugged a USB stick in the USB work and it does not work, but the mouse I reconnect works very well.  This same USB works on another system.  I'm puzzled.

    Thanks for your help!

    If some ports work and others do not, it is most likely a hardware problem, not a Windows.

    Hello

    First of all, it would be interesting to know if you are using the OS preinstalled Toshiba.
    Second, you must check the status of the USB controller in Device Manager.

    I recommend you to unplug all external USB devices to the laptop.
    Delete all the USB root hubs and Device Manager USB host controllers.
    Then restart the laptop and wait until Windows will reinstall all USB ports again.
    Then you can plug in a USB mouse or USB again.

  • Compatibility issue with stereo w/USB Port (and radio too) with the "rocket" GB 2

    I bought a 2 GB rocket. In MSC Mode, I downloaded a few songs and I went to connect to my Sony MHC GT222 (with the USB cable), and he said "No Media". Read the manual, I found that the MHC can only read on devices FAT16 or FAT32. My question is this:

    Can I format the "rocket" in FAT16 or FAT32? Then what? Download a firmware update, update day, then format the device menu?

    Or should I just format the device menu? The unit is Sony too, so the same restriction applies.

    Oh, and I can plug a 4 GB microSD card in the "rocket" GB 2? When I bought it, told me that it can only support 2 GB microSD.

    Thank you for your time.

    I believe that I have found a workaround. Please have in mind that it is a Sony stereo or a USB car stereo.

    And remember also that Sandisk did not test compatibility with Sony, and so this workaround might be replaced by a firmware update.

    It worked for my Fuze 2 GB.

    • Have a LCD card and put it in the slot. Preferably a 4 GB, 8 GB or 16 GB, if you have the resources. Reasons later.
    • You connect Fuze on a USB port.
    • Under Windows XP, my computer appears a Sansa Fuze removable drive (say: and a removable drive (let's say I the removable drive after the "rocket" is the LCD map.))
    • Now, the removable disk in a directory called MUSIC (usually the "rocket" already done this a when you plugged the micro card) drag and drop all the music files you want to access.
    • Remove the "rocket".
    • Wait so the "rocket" updates the music database.
    • With the USB cable, connect the rocket in the Sony stereo / car stereo. Press Play. The player is available as a silent reader, and music should start playing.

    Why the card must be equal to or greater than 4 GB? Because these cards are formatted in FAT32, and these materials are accessible by the Sony with USB ports. Why with a card? Because the Sony apparently are programmed to recognize a player as a SOLID-STATE drive or an adapter for an SSD, not until the case of the "rocket" (not the technical details, but it's more understandable) and in this case the Sony, even once, apparently recognizes the "rocket" as an adapter for one SSD drive, so the internal memory is invisible. A Pro with this is that the "rocket" can be used in a way as a music for personal tastes in the internal memory and music for work in external memory if you have a Sony with USB port in the car or at the office.

  • HP Envy x 360 (M1V68UA): USB Ports all failed - resembled HW failure, but resolved by reinstalling a driver

    This post is an explanation of the complete absence of the laptop (2.0 & 3.0) USB ports and the later hotfix.

    Suspecting a hardware failure, I ran the Diagnostics UEFI and received confirmation of a default by a character 27 failure code.  This type of information is supposed to be useful to someone, but I couldn't find any documentation on this failure on the Web code and technician HP customer care has never offered an explanation.  The ID of the failure, I received was:

    0GF87X-7NW88A-GXGJMF-8D3Q03

    I made arrangements to ship the laptop to HP repair, but while waiting to receive their shipping box, I continued to research.  I happened to run System Mechanic from iolo and noticed a tool "Toolbox |" Recover | Troubleshooting of the system"that took me as a result of convenience store window 10.  I ran the hardware and devices troubleshooter, and confirmed a problem with the USB ports.  But, surprisingly, the fix was to install the latest driver for the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller (USBXHCI. (SYS).

    Once the driver has been reinstalled, the USB port problem has been resolved.  He worked for 3 days and I was able to back up my laptop on an external hard drive into a USB port, as I usually do.

    So if you see a problem with your USB ports, which can resemble a hardware failure, it is better running of the utility window hardware & peripheral troubleshooting.  It can save you an unnecessary repair work.

    Best regards, Mike

    Welcome to the HP Forums

    I would like to take a moment and thank you for the use of this forum, it is a great place to find answers.
    You have the best experience on the HP forum, you can also visit our Guide of Forums from HP for the first time here? Learn how to post and much more.

    As I understand it you had conducted a test of material using the UEFI diagnostic tool and received a failure ID, however, you install the latest driver and solved the problem.

    I'm glad that worked for you, even if you keep the only common, the ID of the failure you captured represents a "Communication error" device on devices such as GPS, switch and/or USB, HUB, Modem, network card, network drive, PCI, PCMCIA card.

    Install the most recent driver is one of the first steps to solve the communication error, however, if the problem is intermittent because it sometimes a repair would be the best way to go.

    Hello

    > This problem start after a storm in my area some time ago.

    Because other devices don't work properly and because procedure didn t get it back help you solve this problem, I think that the problem is related to the hardware malfunction possibly that the motherboard was hit by lightning, which would explain the problems

    I think you should ask the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country to check the motherboard.

    But in my opinion, that the warranty does not cover the issues of environmental impact maybe your household insurance could help you
