My USB Ports don't work, but they still have the power to impose measures.
I have a Toshiba laptop (A205-S5859) and all 4 of my USB ports do not work. I am running Vista Home Premium. Sometimes they detect an 'unknown device', but it is not very useful. They also always charge my blackberry.
In my efforts to fix it, I have:
* disabled/enabled all 4.
* uninstalled/installed all 4
* Made some USB ports are initialized in my BIOS
* some thing I have updated BIOS updated
What can I do else? Help, please! I'm desperate to be able to sync my new blackberry with my previous all my info is on my computer. I also want to be able to sync my blackberry on my computer in the future...

USB ports don't work, help!
It all started when I followed the advice to uninstall usb ports because I wanted to put back front usb midi or usb keyboard. But Windows 7 64 bit not acknowledged on the back usb port, so I uninstalled usb ports and now system always tells me it can't find the driver for any usb ports 7. Now Win can not install any usb device and the keyboard or the mouse wireless, I also tried another mouse. In the work of bios mouse and keyboard.
Just don't tell me to install the new copy of Windows.
I tried really many solutions: remote connection I tried, again uninstall usb and install asus motherboard drivers, no luck.
He acknowledged I usb controller but always after I connect it will automatically try to install the mouse driver and it says "Unknown device" "device driver software was not properly install.
Restore point has tried, without success because of the mistake, that he can't go back.
Recovery Console has tried, all solutions of no repair no chance.
Watched a lot of solutions on the net, could not find the right answer.
Tried to delete usbstor and usb recording
Open gpedit to prevent Windows to automatically search for driver software, no luck.
I finally got from nearby ps2 mouse then tell me how to fix the usb ports!
Maybe is something deeper in the Windows system or is it something so simple?
Help, please.
Yes, but I think it's good now, I knew it was something simple ridiculous, feeling so stupid now, I almost tried everything.
Seems I was missing USB.inf in the Windows inf folder, but it was just half task. When I tried again to install the USB drivers in Device Manager that I manually navigate to composite usb and usb root hub driver automatically generated list so before Windows search and found nothing. Everything works now, so happy, tried 24 hours to solve this problem and on the end it's always something simple :)
Thanks for trying to help, really appreciate it!

Possible hardware USB badly shot - if a PC you can disable the onboard USB and use a
3rd party card extension that are not expensive. If a laptop then you will need technical assistance
a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a big box BestBuy or othe stores) or system
Support from the manufacturer.Also check with the manufacturer of system and their forums support (as appropriate) for known problems and/or
solutions.I hope this helps.

Warranty void installed new HARD drive, but I still have the original?
Hello
I recently installed a new 200GB Hitachi HARD 7200 RPM drive on my laptop, I know that my warranty will be cancelled, but as I still have the original HDD safe and sound, the guarantee will still defend if say... the technicians were to come round to fix my laptop due to an unrelated issue, but see that the HARD drive has been upgraded; they will always fix the laptop even after I show them as the original? It's a long shot I know, but the 40 GB of HARD disc that came with the laptop only leave me little room after installation of Vista.
At my upgrade COMPLETELY canceled my claim to the guarantee? Even if I just say... come back and install the original HARD drive in my system, just before the technicians come to my house? But that would be the same as if say... I just show the technician the original HDD on arrival while having the HDD Upgrade inside the laptop.
A bit confusing, I know, but I'm in a quandary, because the guys from Toshiba are set to come around my place to watch my laptop under warranty, and I fear that they will fix my phone because I upgraded to a better HD and faster.
Thank you very much, I hope someone answers.
Hi Mohin
I would like to try to clarify your question.
The guarantee will be cancelled, if you you disassemble the laptop.
I imagine that the laptop was equipped with a HDD slot at the bottom of the unit and you have to delete only one screw to remove the small cache connector HARD drive. Am I wrong?
So in this case the upgrade of components such as the memory or the HARD drive will not avoid the warranty.But it s a good idea to keep the old HDD that were shipped with the laptop.
Best regards

installation of USB, updated
Hello
· What are the steps that you took to resolve the problem?
· Since when are you facing this problem?
· Remember to make changes to the system?
· What happens when you try to plug in external devices on the system? You get the error message?
It could be that the USB drivers have not corrupted. I suggest you to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager and let windows when the system boots reinstall it. Follow the steps mentioned below.
a. click on Start menu and type device manager in the search box of start and press ENTER.
b. click on the USB (Controller Universal serial bus) to develop the list and remove the drivers that are installed on the system.
c. close Device Manager, and then restart the computer.
d. let windows install the drivers for the USB ports automatically.
e. Once you have reinstalled the drivers, connect the camera and check if you're able to connect to the system or not.

Hi Aowlad,
If your copy of Vista came pre-installed with your PC, you should contact the manufacturer of your PC for replacement disks. You will find no doubt that they will charge you for the replacement and they won't be cheap.
If you purchased your copy of Vista in a store you will be normal should have the purchase receipt or proof of purchase (I guess a credit card statement would be sufficient, but I'm not sure). Take a look at this link for more details:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246
