USB Ports stopped working -
Luis- - 12.12.2011
Alright, I was cleaning out my PC from the inside and I did unplug my fan while I was cleaning to remove all of the dust, I placed everything back put it back on my desk and I did bang it but not hard, then turned it on to find the USB slots wern't working.
It's an HP Pavilion Elite HPE Desktop, I really need it fixing, the USB does work but only for a second or two.

I don't know anything about hardware problems, but have you tried plugging/unplugging it again? Unplug it, clean it once more and put it back again. If that doesn't work, smarter people than me will help you out

I've tried all that, no luck. Thanks though!

Here are some solutions:
1) Try to unplug them all & plug them back in.
2) Do a system restore? Might not work though, but miracles could happen.
3) Contact someone who knows a lot about computers. Maybe they can help.

It seems like you may have hit something on your motherboard when cleaning it out. Are none of the USB ports working, or just a certain row/column of them?

What exactly were you doing? Were you touching the motherboard with objects, or just blowing on it?

Here's an solution, go buy a PC that does NOT have the HP logo on it!
But for now, try hooking the USB's in one and one, and try to hook them in in a other port then those they were used to be in. If that dosn't help, try using the USB's on the front panel.
