K7VMA USB Header Issues - Please help !

[imported_ShEr]

I have connected an internal Mitsumi FA402A 7in1 Card Reader to my ECS K7VMA Motherboard USB header - I had to change the pin config of the Mitsumi connector to ensure it was the same as the USB header on the board - Having plugged it in I am getting nothing ! I have been in touch with Mitsumi Technical Support and they supplied drivers as I am running ME - But still nothing !

I have checked everything that I can think of, I even went as far as taking apart my USB mouse and connecting the Mitsumi to the USB mouse wire and plugging into the USB port at the back of my computer - then amazingly it works, so the Mitsumi Drive is not faulty!

I thus thought the USB header was faulty but I have took to it with my Voltmeter and get a reading of 5V across the Vcc pin wrt Gnd - so It must be working, unless I am missing something.

I am at my wits end as to what else I can do - Can anyone please advise ?

Thanks in anticipation.

Check the windows device manager to see if usb 2.0 driver is loaded.

There is no USB 2.0 on old boards like the K7VMA. www.ecs.com.tw has the USB pinouts for their old boards, which helped me hook up an internal card reader to a K7VZA, no problem. It was an ECS card reader though - but I too had to change the connector pinout to fit the old board.

Thanks for the response guys.

I have managed to get a USB 2.0 driver but it has had no effect apart from slowing my pc down. I do not think it is the drivers as the Mitsumi starts to work if I plug it into the rear USB ports.

I feel there must be a way to activate the onboard header apart from enabling USB in BIOS and shorting out the appropriate jumper.

I just wish I knew what else I was missing.

K7VMA USB header pinout from the ECS USA web site.

Get the pinout right (leave OC pins unconnected!), connect your stuff there, nothing else required. (What jumper are you talking about?!?)

No other tricks required - the board's BIOS doesn't have a separate enabling switch for USB ports 3 and 4.

Hi Peter

I have already done that, got the pinout right and excluded OCO, there is a jumper on the board (I think it's jumpers 5 & 6) - USB Port 3-4 wake up jumper & USB Port 1-2 wake up jumper.

I know the mitsumi works as I have connected it to the back port and it works but not off the header.

Any ideas where I am going wrong ?
