    Picky USB slots!
    « on: February 06, 2011, 05:18:48 AM »
    A few weeks ago My USB's started to act up. Mainly that every time I plugged in my Ipod it wasn't recognised by the system. I also discovered that other USB devices wouldn't work, External hard drive, flash drive cards,phone sync, although my USB printer seemed to carry on regardless!
    My default fix for software problems is to reformat and reinstall the operating system which I did, only to find the problem still persists!
    Can you advise me what to do? or is this more likely to be a hardware problem?

    I have a Dell Dimention 4600

      No, all the ports think they are OK.
