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.

  • Satellite Pro L10 - USB port will not recognize devices

    Hello

    I got a L10 for 18 months. Under the guarantee, I got a replacement motherboard mounted. Everything has been ok so far. A USB port will not recognize devices, a port is ok, but randomly turns off a device attached to it and comes up with the message "USB device not recognized". The third port is ok all the time.

    Any solutions or suggestions?

    Post edited by: caddy

    I guess there is not enough power on the USB ports and external devices may not work correctly. It is not easy to say why this happens, but there may be a problem of welding.

    I recommend you contact the service again as soon as possible.

  • USB ports do not recognize my mouse

    I have a Sony 64 bit computer with Vista. I had the same Logitech VX Nano mouse before but she had to be replaced. I also had computer problems and restored the whole system using the F10 key. Now my new mouse, who has just arrived, this is the same exact model I had before will not work. It is not recognized. The mouse is very well that it is simply not connecting to USB port somehow. I downloaded the new software on the site Lgitech and I'm trying to update my drivers having a pilot online, but nothing seems to work. I'm not a geek and I really need this mouse works because I work online on my computer. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi cadak,

    Which of these two is the one you have?  http://www.Logitech.com/en-us/support-downloads?modelsearch=Yes&modelNumber=Nano+VX

    You may need to install the software, but also the drivers for the mouse to be recognized (or drivers can be included with the software).  Make sure you have the 64-bit versions.

    With the installed mouse and the software and drivers installed, go to start / Control Panel / Device Manager and check that the mouse look and work correctly.

    Go to start / Control Panel / mouse and check the settings to make sure that it is correctly configured to work with your computer - especially if it's a laptop with a touchscreen.  If it has a touchpad, I would update the Sony touchpad drivers to make sure that it is not the cause of the problem.

    You have another computer on which you can test the mouse to see if it works (if we exclude a faulty new mouse or a USB transmitter)?

    I hope this helps.  If no, please specify the mouse so I can read more about the installation and what is required and the appropriate procedures.  In addition, is Vista fully up to date in terms of service packs and updates after reinstalling - otherwise, please do.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro M70 - USB port does not recognize the device

    My Satellite Pro M70 has three USB slots, one on the left and two (vertically one above the other) at the back of the laptop.

    The top slot to USB in the back started giving problems. Sometimes, my computer can't see all that I plugged in there. But if I unplug anything - usually the printer or the mouse - the computer will usually see it then.

    What is the problem? Can do nothing about it?

    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
