One of my USB port is not working,,Dell studio 1558

[nuflia]

Hi guys
I just have an issue about one of my USB port connection, It used to be working but for a sudden it stopped working.. i tried many way but no luck, it is Dell studio 1558, the other 2 USB ports are working fine, only the one which is on the other side of the motherboard.. recently i have installed new cooling system (fan and heat sink) and i do not think i had done anything that might disable this port, and this port is attached to the motherboard so nothing could have been done to disable it...

Thanks Sandeep,,
i updated my chip set... unfortunately the bios is not update as the version is current up to date, and the dell has not released any new update...
I updated my system information,,, I guess the problem is with my USB port connection that is why it's not recognized by the Motherboard which considers no fault with the port...

Dell USB and power ports are known to wear out. Look for a replacement on evil bay. PITA to replace but there are several very good sites that walk you through the process.

Hi nuflia,

Thanks for your reply. Please let me know which side of the system is this faulty USB port located. So that I can check if the USB port is on a daughter board or the motherboard.

If the system is under warranty then please contact me through a private message and provide me with your service tag and contact information so I may access your system records.

And, if the system is out of warranty then you contact our Expired Warranty Support at the link below:

my system is out the warranty, the USB port is on the right side , it is next to the power supply port..

Hi nuflia,

There is separate USB connector and cable for the right side port which connects to the motherboard.

If possible open the system and make sure cable is connected properly to the system board. You can see the picture of the keyboard below:




Also, you can check the link for manual of the system which should help in reseating the cable.:
