    Hi. i have checked on computer there are only 2 usb ports and both broke.
    my pc is a acer aspire 5532
    You could buy a USB card for the Express port, if you had one.

    This laptop has nothing & is not worth repairing. You can buy a new laptop for the cost of repairing this one.

    Thanks for adding the model number and you're correct this model has only the two usb ports and no express port. I read in the detailed spec's but if it does have an express port hiding somewhere than this is your only option other than repair or replace.

    you could by an adapter that turned USB drives into NAS devices, and then access them via ethernet or wirelessly. But again its not the best solution.
