For a while I just ignored the fact they didn't work, but lately I'm thinking it's just user error and I can't stand not being able to do something that I know should work.
So I busted out the manual for my motherboard and looked around at some things. Here I had accidently had the front USB ports (built into the case) plugged into the JDB1 section on my MSI K8N Neo4 motherboard. The JDB1 is for the four LED's that you sometimes get with a USB enabled PCI card... the four LED's are signal lights which light up when certain things go wrong or something of that nature.
Anyway, I had them plugged there by mistake. So I started looking, and my motherboard has three "ports" for USB. JUSB1, JUSB2, JUSB3. Well, my front USB's are definitely plugged into them and the front USB's just don't respond. The ones on the rear (built onto motherboard) do just fine though.
Did I fry the front USBs or cause any additional damage?
