USB Ports Blown?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I plugged in a parallel port cable to my 600m to perform DCC transfer to another laptop and as soon as as did that, the system shut down. Next time I rebooted none of the usb ports were working. Even the BIOS says that the internal usb bluetooth isn't installed and my mouse doesn't light up pre booting windows so it's not software related. Diagnostics report no problems. Not a nice x-mas present for me and I wasn't naughty this year either.

uninstall/reinstall chipset. if that doesnt work, try a restore point, or even reformat.

it should be software related.

Pretty sure it isn't windows - mouse used to work when I ran diagnostics. Now it doesn't and system won't boot from usb thumbdrive or the floppy (usb). Called up for a mobo replacement. I'll open this thing tomorrow.
