win xp. front usb ports quit working. i've tried camera and printer in them and no luck. worked fine until a week ago. haven't changed anything with pc. back ports work fine. any suggestions?
 
i didn't change anything . device manager says everything is working properly. i have been racking my brain with this and can't get anywhere. get a message:power surge on hub port, a usb device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port. all i use the front ports for is picture transfer from a kodak camera. they used to work fine
 
wow..thats a good one. Do you have access to a spare USB set you can try and plug into the mobo? That way you can see if just the USB ports blew out or the slot on the Mobo did...I think there very cheap none the less so it would be worth a shot. You would need the ones that are front mountable and plug into the a slot on the Mobo..not a PCI card type.
