No USB... help!

[Udimet720]

Posted this in Gen Hardware without any response. Maybe this is better off here:

Yesterday I looked down at my USB hub and noticed that none of the LED's were on. This seemed not good to me. But, then I realized that none of my USB devices on the hub were working (scanner, PDA, digital camera).

I tried removing the hubs and letting windows reinstall them. That went OK. But, still no devices. I schecked all the cables. No loosey goosey's.

The only thing I can think of is that right before I noticed this, I tried plugging the camera into the one of the front ports (hub is in the back) while my computer was on. But, the camera was off. Could this have fried my USB ports? Device manager reports them as working properly.

Any suggestions on how I can narrow down the problem?

Also, I tried plugging my scanner in directly to the USB port on the rear of my computer. Also a no go...

Thanks...

Have you tred hooking up other devices directly to your mobo USB?

If none of the devices work that way then we've sorta of isolated that the USB hub is not the problem. Make sure that the USB is ENABLED in BIOS.

Yeah, I tried plugging the scanner directly into the MB. So the hub is off the hook. Also I tried plugging the hub into one of the front ports. No good either. :frown:

I will double check the bios...
