Re: Unknown Device (USB Port)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Solution was as suggested by Dandy Don ... I transferred the front panel
connectors on the motherboard (to the other pin bank available) and the
world is now turning once again. No wonder you go by "Dandy Don" ..lol ...
(one Dandy Don to another) .. thanks for the suggestion. All 6 ports are now
functioning and I still have no clue why the one port wouldn't play well
with the others - bad experience as a young port??? Computers ... go figure.
I must have been a little low on my level of frustration!!!

I guess I'm going to write off this problem until something more serious
comes along ... lol. I already have a 4 port USB hub and have already been
taking the workaround approach. As a tech, I just hate to not know why
these stupid anomalies come along .. other than to frustrate me and remind
me that I do NOT know everything. Oh well, life and the mysteries of
computers live on. Did I mention the frustration of this kind of thing ..
lol??? Thanks to all for their suggestions & thoughts. BMFH to the ready
..... lol.

How many internal USB connection ports do you have on the motherboard?.
If you have a spare, try swapping the cable for the front ports to the
unused one.

Also check the USB pin diagram for both the case and the motherboard and
make sure they match. On my Antec case and Epox motherboard they did not.
I had to cut an extra ground wire on the case wiring to get the front
ports to work.

I have a total of 6 usb ports on my new system. 4 of them are on my new
Asus M2N board and the other 2 are on the front of new my tower case (450
W PS). One on the front of my case has now decided to become an "unknown
device" in my device manager and will not work. The new system is only 3
months old and I can't find any way of fixing it. I have uninstalled (it
immediately comes back as unknown). I have tried updating the drivers -
"no drivers backed up for this device". I have tried the add new hardware
and it recognizes it and again installs it as "unkown device". Just
another one of those "don't expect everything to work right" issues. The
big mother f...... hammer (BMFH) is waiting for it's turn to fix it once
and for all.
