USB device not recognized... Unplug the thing does NOT work

It baffles me that THOUSANDS of people have this problem, or a variant of it, and no ONE at Microsoft or elsewhere also offers a real solution. Unless of course you want to count the method "unplug your computer", which is the most foolish band-aid for a problem I never heard, even if it works for a lot of people (most). I, unfortunately, am one of those for which the "disconnect" method magic does NOT work. I tried everything what all other posters and responder suggested (BIOS upgrade, change Legacy BIOS definition Enable to disable to activate again, driver updates, uninstall all USB, full power down and restart hours later, use CMD prompt to show only devices, etc.) and do not know what else to try. I would really like to see a REAL answer as to the cause of the majority of the questions posted about the USB error outside the usual "restore your settings, use your restore disk, unplug it, replace your USB key, etc etc etc. HEY! MICROSOFT! SOLVE THE PROBLEM! OR, Hey, here's an idea, a news for you, I'm sure that... don't they exude products until they have been tested (NO! I mean really, fully tested [see XBox 360 RROD])

In case anyone reading this is a real working solution, I'm on a Toshiba A135-S2386, Vista Home, and each USB port is unusable on any device. All ports feeds the device and noise sounds to indicate that a USB device was attached and then proceeds to the display of the error "USB device not recognized" and shows and shows an unknown device connected. It does this for any USB device.

FINALLY: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT POST A REPLY IF YOU USED THE METHOD OF "DISCONNECT", AND IT WORKED. Grats to you for fixing your computer, but I can just not read another 400 posts of "wow it worked for me great fantastic" when it does NOT work for everyone. I need something new and real. (Sorry to be all grumpy, but I'm tired of these kinds of problems from companies making billions off the coast of junk, defective, half finished, produced a car!) "You listen to Bill?)

UPDATE: just ran a scan of the system file Confirmation via an administrator command prompt and it's clean...
ALSO - was not that before, but now whenever I do a complete power down / reboot thing that it gives me a "Bad Checksum" error and I have to reset the date and time in the BIOS. I need to change the battery in MB? As I said it did not have this before and the USB error was produced, but could this be the problem? Bad battery MB CMOS?

The bios of your motherboard is probably damaged.

step 1. See if you can find a previous version of the bios of your motherboard and return date of the bios.

step 2. Find the latest version of the bios of your motherboard and update your bios.

Do not use a registered version of your current version.

To check the problem is the motherboard or operating system. find something like a live Ubuntu CD

http://www.Ubuntu.com/desktop/get-Ubuntu/download.

or

Make a Ultimate Boot CD for Windows

http://www.UBCD4Win.com/index.htm you are using windows xp or borrow a copy to UBD4WIN.

Both of the above run in memory (does not load on hard drive.

Both a bit slow, but are excellent tools.

Works like a normal computer.

If you can see you USB devices, magicjack, ETC. your BIOS is not corrupt or motherboard problem.

In normal windows if you see not the USB devices, magicjack, etc your windows install is corrupt.

Reload Windows of difficulty.

If you you do not see the magicjack, USB devices, ETC., your BIOS is corrupt motherboard or other problem.

Redo your BIOS as described above.

All other unwanted do not work , he was done !

    I put t know what USB device do you use but if it doesn't work, you must have the driver for this device of some. Part material Toshiba doesn t support third so try please talk with your internet provider and ask for help.

    Another thing: I put t know where you bought your Qosmio but I assume it has been offered to Pakistan. The right support page should be http://asia.toshiba.com/pakistan

  • Windows 7 - "USB device not recognized" - to load the new electronic Cigarette device. Help, please?

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium.  I just bought a unit of the electronic cigarette, manufacturer is "Innokin Cool Fire IV", the usb charger plugged on Acer laptop and comes to the screen "USB device not recognized".  I loaded different brand before without problem, I don't know what to do and I am NOT GOOD WITH COMPUTERS!  My settings are at "install updates automatically" and I DON'T WANT WINDOWS 10!  Can someone help me please?  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    This seems to indicate that the charger has actually been detected as a device, but Windows can not work it out.

    Normally such a device should only connect to 5v and 0v pins and have no connection with the pins of data, in this way, that it will not be seen by Windows. I would be concerned by the quality of the device if it has some form of data connection. If you want to continue with this charger, that I would recommend to use a power supply of 5v USB instead of risking the USB port of the laptop, a lot less expensive if it does not. It has been reported several eCig Chargers catch fire. Something like this:

    I have a workaround for this problem that occasionally occurs. It's just to reconnect the USB hub (as recommended by Windows). I was wondering if anyone knows why this happens and how to fix it. The error is: -.

    "Unrecognized USB device. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize.

    Roob (2 ports) USB hubs - unused Port, unknown device.

    Recommendation: try to re-connect. If Windows does still not it, replace the device. "

    I can't wait to hear back on your part.

    Hello Julia

    It is always advantageous to mention which model you have exactly. Of course the external device is not correctly recognized. Check if there is a driver that must be installed before you can use it properly.

  • PRS-600 USB device not recognized

    I am unable to get ereader PRS-600 to be recognized by the computer (Win7).
    I tried to update the software (even if I think it's in)
    (date) but the window 'connect a PRS-600 to update' does not progress and the update button is dimmed.
    I deleted the "unknown device" in the drivers, but when I reconnect the USB cable and the ereader, I always get the display of device not recognized and the message "USB device not recognized".

    I seem to have solved the problem. I contacted Sony through esupport and a chat with a tech.

    Make sure that the battery has some charge inside. Completely charge if you can.
    Stop eReader (fully)
    Remove the SD card
    Press the button Reset (at the bottom of the ereader)
    Turn it on
    While the display shows "Open book", at the same time press the button to "turn the page" (back) and the Volume button until the "Reset All" + screen
    Enter 'Yes' to reset the ereader. You may need to configure the screen (X button with the tip to draw at various points)
    If you charge the battery, you may need to contact the support chat for sorting.

    Good luck!

  • His number disappointed + B500 USB device not recognized at startup

    Hello

    We have 2 B500

    whenever I'm starting, after loading windows they give me an error "USB device not recognized" I don't know what to do any help will be greatly appreciated as it is strange that both machines are giving the same error.

    also on one of the machines the sound does not work, I tried to get out of trouble, the diagnostic says the speakers are working properly, but not her out at all.

    I'm kind of disappointed by these questions, we always buy at Dell, but we thought we would give Lenovo a chance, the machines were barely a few months, when the problem started.

    advice please?

    That error usually comes up when a non bootable USB device is connected. Check the Bios and make sure that the CD drive and HARD drive are loading first. That should solve your problem. If this is not the case, make sure that you don't have any USB stick or disk external HARD connected until the PC load.

    is there a solution?

    Hello

    Hmm. First of all, you should unplug all external USB devices.
    Then go to Device Manager and remove it all concentrators root USB and USB host controllers.
    Reboot the laptop.

    After this procedure, the operating system should recognize and should install new ports.
    Now you can connect to a plug - and play instruments. These devices should be recognized automatically. But some external USB devices need additional drivers.
    Usually these drivers are provided with the USB device.

    I would recommend this review if necessary!
