    dell altitude d400 usb issues

    it appears the usb controller on my dell latitude d400 has died. the ports have power but fedora and windows both do not detect anything when it is plugged in.

    any fix other than a new mainboard?

    by the way, bios reflashing did not fix it

    could someone fix the title? it should be latitude, not altitude.

      No other option that I'm aware of. Unfortunately, it's all too common to see failed USB ports on 855 mobile and 865 desktop chipsets. Seems they're overly sensitive to something and just die out. Other system functions don't seem to suffer, just dead USB ports...

        Interesing. I've never seen one go bad on an office full of D800 810 820 and 830s.
        I've seen them shut off due to static (it's drrrryyyy here in the winter), but come back after a power cycle.
        36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far....

          i might get a little cpu boost... my current cpu is a 1.6ghz, the new one is 1.8 ghz.

            i opened it up and removed the offending board.

            it appears there are 2 revisions of my board. one has a socketed bios, one does not. luckily, both the one i might grab and my board both have non-socketed bios... just means the service tags won't match, thats all.
