Are other USB devices working fine on the laptop? Did u try the flash disk
on a different computer? If it works on a different computer, but not on the
laptop, follow the steps given below to reinstall USB ports:

1. Right-click My Computer icon on the desktop, and then select
    Properties.
2. Click the Hardware tab.
3. Click the Device Manager button.
4. Click the (+) sign to the left of Universal Serial Bus controllers.
5. Right-click the device listed under Universal Serial Bus controller
    and select Uninstall.
6. Click OK to confirm the removal of the device.

     NOTE: Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all the devices under Universal
            Serial Bus Controller are removed.

7. Shut down the computer.

     CAUTION: Ensure that the Shut Down option is selected, instead of
               the Restart option.

8. Wait for 5 seconds and then restart the computer. When the
    computer restarts, a "Windows has detected new or added hardware"
    message window will open.

     NOTE: You will have to insert the Windows CD-ROM into the
            CD drive, if prompted.

The above steps will refresh the USB ports.

I hope this helps.
