AshMat Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Ok guys, issue. Basically, there are 10 USB ports on this PC (6 at the front, 4 on the back), and overall, 2 on the back work properly, and one on the back dxoesn't seem to want to work 100%, but atm it could be the one pound four port USB thing that i'm using. ANyway i want to buy more to stick round the back, so i have a question: http://www.ebuyer.com:80/UK/product/108594/rb/27399989825 What exactly does this connect to? Because the reason the 4 port one at the front doesn't work, is because it plugs in to other USB ports. So can anyone confirm that this does not connect itself by plugging in to a USB port? Also, if not, what does it connect to so i know where to plug it? And finally, if that does connect via USB, can someone find me one that doesn't? Thanks for the help in advance, someone tell me if that's too confusing.

AshMat Posted May 1, 2007 Author Posted May 1, 2007 I don't, that's the problem, only 2 of them work properly, and one has a mouse in, the other has the Internet modem in. I ahve a webcam, bluetooth dongle, phone & mp3, printer. Everything uses frikkin USB these days.
Guest Jordan Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I'm guessing the front don't work due to either them not being connected or the wrong drivers being used, but the motherboard ones not working is completely baffeling. They might be turned off on the motherboard bios, you could always get a USB Hub. It sucks power out of your machine like crazy though. It basically takes 1 USB port and makes it into 4.
