Two of the three USB ports works only on Compaq CQ71 (Windows 7).

Hi, I have a Compaq Presario CQ71.

There is a USB port on the left and two on the right. The one on the left works but the two on the right are not.  An "unrecognized" message when you use one of them, but not with each other, however there is power coming from him, as when I plug a mouse to infrared light is turned on.
Ive updated Chipset drivers and BIOS on Compaq website. I also made sure to do all the updates of Windows. Help, please! Its driving me crazy!

Did you meet a very old thread... but... I know that with some machines, you can actually disable some ports USB in the BIOS. Take a look here and see if there's anything out there.

    Hey again,
    I thought then that I was here anyway I could ask this too.
    The tecra S2 has 3 USB ports, they all work very well for my USB mouse and other small things like the wacom tablet...
    But when I plug my external hard drive in two of them, it says that it is an unknown device...

    I think, but am not sure, that this might have something to do with something once, we had to do in school;
    We had once set up a pilot for a small converted Converter a series (or parallel, cant he recall) cable to the usb port
    (I have already uninstalled the drivers but nothing has changed)

    It's just a guess...

    any idea on how to solve this little problem? : p

    Two of the three USB ports on my laptop have stopped working today for no apparent reason. I had nothing new plugged in, I was not something out of the norm with my machine, but the mouse does not work all of a sudden. I swapped on the keyboard and the mouse and the mouse was fine, but the keyboard works not so it's not the device. I ran a diagnostic care on port vaio, he said that there was no problem. Any ideas?

  • Two of the four USB ports on my laptop has suddenly stopped working!

    My laptop (HP Pavilion) has a total of 4 ports USB (two on the left side) and two on the right side all of a sudden my laptop developed this problem, two ports USB on the left side of the laptop no longer works... They didn't stop working completely, because I can still charge my phone via the ports, but they do not detect any storage device I plug into them. The other two on the right side work perfectly... I checked my mobile device manager and the defective thing only seems to me pointed out under "other devices", where the driver for 'Fresco Logic' hub USB root is not installed... it shows "the drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)" Please, this could be the problem and where can I find the driver?

    Hello

    You are welcome!

    I am pleased that the issue is resolved. Since it works fine, I do not think you have to worry.

    To find the version of ports, you can consult the HP manual (specifications).

  • Sony Vaio E Series USB Ports works only sometimes

    I have a laptop Vaio Sony of SV1513KCXS and for some reason my USB 3.0 on the left side only works with devices let. Now, it is not broken... but my hard drive for example does that from time to time. My USB 2.0 all work effortlessly with the Toshiba 500 GB USB 3.0 Hard Drive. This is the weird part... If using a USB extention or a USB hub, it works every time. What is the cause? Also when I got the laptop HD 4 months she would transfer around 85-90 MB per second, but now it's a constant 36-38 mb a second not more not less. This could be the cause? Thank you.

    Tim-

    So I finally thought to it with hours of troubleshooting...

    First find/click Device manager

    Disc players

    Find the hard drive, that is my toshiba 500 GB HD and right click for the properties option.

    Tab 'political '.

    Check the "best performance."

    BOOM! Back to super high speed!

  • After a reboot, none of the usb ports work and USB problems-uninstalled USB Ports

    I just bought a Seagate external drive, but none of my usb ports work. I looked into it and followed what it says on the uninstall of my USB ports, bad move on my part. Now, after a reboot, no usb port works, I've tried all microsoft support said to do and nothing seems to work. I think I need to reinstall my usb root hub? Perhaps, but I can't seem to find anyway to do. Help, please!

    Hello

    Check the status of the device in Device Manager. Follow the steps for the same thing:

    a. click on start

    b. click Run, in the Run dialog box type devmgmt.msc

    c. in the Device Manager window, locate the USB key and expand the drive, double-click the sub element to check if an error message or error code is listed.

    If there is no error message highlight Bus USB controllers and then click Action select check for material changes.

  • Peripheral storage but not with ethernet connection USB port work

    I usually connect my Mac Book Pro with ethernet using the USB port. It was working fine, but since a few weeks, it has stopped working. But the normal usb storage devices only works very well in this port. So, I tried to connect the ethernet to another USB port near the seizure of power, which seems to work very well. So, that means that the other USB port does not work properly. How can I fix? I use Mac Book Pro with the Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.4

    Try resetting the SMC reset management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    Shouldn't use you a crush on Ethernet card instead of a USB adapter to Ethernet?

  • Satellite L - a single USB port works

    Hello

    I've had this laptop for a few months and I could not do all the USB ports work, the system recognizes all the but work alone. If I check the system it says ports are working properly and that it has the latest driver but when I do anything, a mouse, USB KEY, connect headsets to listen nothing, only one of the ports to recognize hardware.

    Can someone help me?

    Hi alecarrill63,

    It would be interesting to know what laptop you have exactly and what operating system you are using.
    Can you post this important information?

    In your case, I will try to update the Web from Toshiba site chipset driver

    But theoretically, if only a single USB port works, the other ports may be defective and therefore, it would be necessary to replace the motherboard. :(

  • USB ports work very strange on my new Satellite L650D-100

    Hello, toshiba loaptop users and professional!

    Last week, I bought toshiba L650D-100 with windows 7, 64 bit. Everything is good, but the USB ports work strange:

    USB mouse works ok at a port and does not to another. It is not in the windows Device Manager, but if I connect or disconnect the device, it sounds "ding".
    With USB storage there is another problem: it appears in Device Manager and it is shown that drivers are ok and the device are working properly, but if I try to open it in Explorer, it crashes, green progress bar grows and stops at the end. This problem appears in the two ports.

    If I reboot laptop with usb storage pluged, it can start to work correctly, but if I unplug and plug again the problem reappear.

    Usb storage and usb mice work well on another computer. I've updated the bios, but it does not help.

    Help, please. Maybe I should try to reinstall the chipset driver? If so, where could I get?

    Hey,.

    > This may somehow worry about supply management food or feeding issues?
    In my opinion it has nothing to do with the power supply, or you may notice that the problem appears not on battery mode?

    In my opinion, you should follow the instructsions posted by Akuma. Recovery facility will show you if it s a hardware or software problem. ;)

  • Wireless USB mouse works only with Windows 7

    When I plug the usb antenna, it recognizes and installs successfully the mouse.  I then sync the two but the mouse does not work.  In the device, the mouse Manager is listed under "Human Interface Devices" as an "input USB device..."  I deleted and reinstalled, rebooted my computer and several other things but still cannot make it work...

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you
    SGT Cren

    I guess that your USB ports are in need of a better driver. It is probably in your drivers "chipset".
