    Hey all,

    I am having a problem with the two USB ports on the left side of my laptop. They seem to not be working at all. I find it weird since I remember them working on Monday, but I only had to use them today in the morning. I don't remember installing any drivers or anything since Monday night.

    The other two USB ports on the right side of the laptop are working fine though.


    Any help is appreciated!

    Thanks.

    Update: After uninstalling all my USB drivers then reinstalling, the problem appears to have been fixed. Still, I am wondering why it happened in the first place.

    You probably accidentally uninstalled the Fresco Logic USB 3.0 drivers which are needed since USB 3.0 support isn't built in the SB CPU's.
