• Device USB not recognized - device connected USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4 laptop running Windows 7 Home Edition Premium and the USB ports worked well for a HP deskjet printer and an older Casio digital camera. Then one day, the laptop decided not to recognize the Casio digital camera and gave the error message "USB device not recognized" and also indicated that the device connected to the computer has malfunctioned. This prompted me to buy a new digital camera Canon. Well, a new camera has not fixed the problem. Now, anything that is connected to one of the 2 ports USB will not be recognized by my laptop. Help!  I am at a loss to understand this.  I tried using Microsoft suggested below:

  Suggestion 1: the problem with USB devices, uninstall and reinstall all USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond.
  USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.

  a. Click Start, type Manager of devices in the search box of start and press ENTER.
  b. expand Bus USB controllers.
  Note: you may scroll through the list to find this point.
  c. the first USB controller under Bus USB controllers right click and then click on uninstall to remove it.
  d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.
  e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.
  f. check the USB device to see if it works.

  This has not fixed the problem.  Then the Device Manager, I tried to update the drivers on all the USB controllers and root hubs. While some may have received software updates downloaded, it still has not corrected the problem of unrecognized USB device after the computer is restarted.  I hope that someone knows the solution to this situation and can pass it on to me. Thanks for reading and any help display.

  Read previous messages revealed the solution for USB devices not recognized on my HP Pavilion as well as several other laptop models.  Shut down the computer and remove the battery and wait for about 15 minutes. Reinstall the battery and restart the computer.  USB ports are working to download pictures from my digital camera from Canon and charging a cell phone, etc...   I hope it helps others with this problem!

• Why am I suddenly "USB not recognized, one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize"

  Hi all. If anyone out there in Cyber Land can solve this problem for me so I've personally you will issue an eight-pack of ice-cold beer (or a bottle of wine for the ladies lol)...

  I'll try not to waffle too guys, so here's...

  Right my PC running Windows XP. I also have itunes installed on my PC (I have an iphone 4). Upward until yesterday my iphone and itunes were working well, (once I plugged my iphone in the itunes USB port recognised that my iphone was plugged and synchronization was fine etc.).

  But now when I plug my iphone to PC to sync with itunes, I get a pop up box on the lower right part of the screen that reads... "USB not recognized one of the USB devices has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize."

  After visiting about 5 different sites now "Ways to solve this problem", believe it or not, I still have the problem bloody! :(

  A site proposed shutdown PC and unplug it from the power supply, then plug it back start-up and back... this as did not work!
  The other they say that I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs then restart... it did not work either.
  Tried a system restore
  Tried to reinstall itunes

  When I check the names USB in Device Manager, there is one who reads unknown device. I am literally pulling what's left of my hair now. I tried to solve this problem for almost 2 days now and still no joy. That's why no matter what input you guys would be very appreciated. I'm no PC Wizard, so please, don't think you're patronizing me if you break down things step by step for me.

  Thank you comrades, cordially, Freddy frustrated. :)

  Another said I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs and restart.

  Usually, this works... but can be very dangerous, unless you have a PS/2 keyboard.

  I also assume that you have tried all other USB ports on the computer. tried a verified USB device (for example, a flash drive) in the USB usually when you plug in your iPhone. and I tried your iPhone in another computer (I know it's rare for an error message Windows really means what he says, but sometimes the material lacks).

  Is the charge of the iPhone when it is connected to the USB port (I don't think)?  This happened to me recently, but a reboot fixed it.  I guess that that happened to you.

  I guess that you don't see the error messages in Device Manager or you must declare them.

  You can uninstall all USB devices that do not exist as follows:

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Enter the following command and press enter

  Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

  • Start the Device Manager by typing the following in the same command prompt window

  devmgmt.msc

  • In Device Manager, click the view menu and select "Show hidden devices".
  • You should see a category just after "Non-Plug and Play drivers" named "other devices."  Chances are that there will be a big exclamation yellow mark beside it.  When you expand the "other devices" you should see several non identified "USB devices."  Uninstall all this.
  • Reboot (with the iPhone NOT connected).

• Peripheral PnP USB - muted, is unplug sound when not touched, "device not recognized" or a malfunction, etc...

  Here is an exhaustive list I hope what happens (it's the Microsoft forums, so I think you guys are going to read a lot of information):

  • The sound on my PnP USB audio device cancels randomly without any reason. It is not to be touched at all, and often happens when I'm even not listen to all the sounds.
  • Before he died, it emits a blur in the helmet noise as it is to be disconnected or the cord is cut or something. I have to unplug it and plug it back several times to make it work.
  • It has been for several months, working properly, this month started anything, for about a week.
  • I can't use my headset because it is loose. I had the USB key to solve this problem, because it's too expensive get taking fixed. I did not buy the device at first hand, I got it from a family member who took my laptop in for repair and the guy he recommended and we sold two of these jacks.
  • When it goes off during a game, I can't sound to return. Sometimes I can fix it on a game (as Portal 2, for example) by going to options and change the type of sound (or any) what's called it headphones to speakers, then back to the helmet. However, the game freezes often when the sound goes off and I have to remove the usb key, and in this case the game should also be repeated. In addition, everything has sound options like that.
  • This happens randomly, but it tends to happen every five minutes or every few seconds, and coincidentally it almost always happens during a loading on a video game screen.
  • It is not always give me a warning sound, especially on the games. He's just quiet.
  • Device Manager does not display a point of exclamation or question marks next to any audio device and the key USB pnp is indicated correctly. In the options of the sound in the Control Panel, there is of the sound bars next to the USB key that indicates that his is read, but it is not in playback mode. The USB pnp is listed as default device, so don't tell me to do. The microphones are turned off as well.
  • It does the same thing in all my usb ports.
  • The driver is up-to-date and meant for Windows 7.
  • I do not install the Windows updates. Updates are bad.
  • Box for what he calls a "USB stereo Audio Adapter external" StarTech.com, or "ICUSBAUDIO". It came with a disc that I used to install the driver, and I went on their website to get one for Windows 7 specifically and installed.
  • I use a computer laptop 64 bit Windows 7. In Device Manager, there are three things listed under sound: Realtek High Definition Audio Intel (r) display Audio and USB PnP Sound Device. None of the USB devices have exclamation points.
  • For the first time today, when the usb unplug sound, my computer tells me "Device not recognized" and said it could have malfunctioned. When I clicked on it for more information, he said that he could not tell me what the usb was even because it was not plugged in, which was not true. I also had a window appears which has tried to install the device driver (already installed) and then was told that the unit had been disconnected before he could do (not true). It just happened, for the second time today a few seconds ago.

  Good stupid situation?
  I don't know about you, but if you have noticed the same behavior on more than one PC there must be a hardware problem. Sorry, buddy, but I think the HARD drive is dead.

  What you can do?
  Maybe stupid sounds now, but I think you can say bye bye and throw it away.
  You have some important data saved on this subject?

• Bluetooth is not recognized on Satellite Pro A100

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 828 running Win XP Pro.

  He is supposed to have integrated bluetooth but when I install the bluetooth stack, a message appears saying peripheral usb has malfunctioned and is not recognized by windows.

  In Device Manager, it is listed as an unknown device.
  I tried different versions of the bluetooth stack, but the same message still appears.

  Is there a software fix for this or does this mean that my hardware is defective? Would be grateful for any advice.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  where downloaded battery Bluetooth? And another question: do you have bluetooth never work properly? It would be interesting.
  Try another might be to download a Linux Live-CD and to check if the problem is perhaps more a hardware related issue.

  So, if you need an alternative download source then try this address:

• Art of STOR E external 1.5 TB hard drive is not recognized by Vista

  I have a HARD drive that I brought in Europe, it was working fine and all of a sudden when I turn it on, is now telling me one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize.

  I can hear the HDD spining, and you can feel the playhead to move when you turn it on, would that be a driver or a firmware issue?

  I have a lot of backup data about it as I can't afford to lose, then it would remove and put it directly into my computer to see if I can read it?

  > I can hear the HDD spining, and you can feel the playhead to move when you turn it on, would that be a driver or a firmware issue?

  You can try to connect to any other computer external HARD drive. If it would not then he s seems to be hardware problem.
  Of course, it is s to connect the HARD drive directly to a HARD drive controller to see if the BIOS recognizes the HARD drive maybe it would be your last resort
