Your pc desktop USB ports are acting-up lately, they can’t recognize any USB device you plug into them. Your flash drive or external drive can easily be accessed on another computer — the possibility of your usb device being defective is cancelled out.
You reformatted your computer, reinstalled the drivers but still your USB ports refuse to cooperate.
You stared at the little square holes and prayed for a miracle but that didn’t work either.
Then you stumbled into this blog post.
your problem? – Your USB ports are broken, malfunctioning, dead.
solution? Install a USB 2.04 (or higher) 4 port (or higher ) PCI Card.
Where to buy? If you are cheapskate like me and you happened to live in the Philippines, try the USB 2.04+1 Port PCI Cards being sold at CDR-King. These cards come with mini cd drivers and a 3 month warranty. I scored one a few days ago and it still working. I’m crossing my fingers. If the card will last for 5 months, I’ll be a happy man.
