    Hi everyone,

    Since I've had my new computer 2 of my front USB ports have never worked, there are currently 4 on the front and only the top 2 work. I don't know if this is a hardware issue, a driver issue or what, but i've searched around and I've come up with nothing.

    So if anyone knows why this is and how to fix it, I would be most greatful!

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi

    At times while PC makers add the ports not all of them could be connected to the motherboard, so would be worthwhile opening up the PC ( while off ) and see if indeed their are cables coming from all of the front USB ports.

    Check Device Manager for any yellow ! marks down in the USB section.
