    Dell Inspiron 3421 USB Port not working

    Help me guys. I'm in stuck. Dell Inspiron 3421 USB ports are not working. Both USB2 & USB3.
    All other function is fully ok.
    The measurement on the following:
    Vcc= 5V
    D+= 3.3V
    D- =3.3V

    I've replaced U6102 but still have the problem.
    The schematic is in the attachment.
    Thanks guys.

          yes, the webcam works fine.

          the voltage are the same in the ports: 5v

          I'm new to board repair, sorry if I didn't give you any correct information.

            Re: Dell Inspiron 3421 USB Port not working

            1) Post the voltages on each D+ and D- pins of the USB connector. Do this for each port on this box.

            2) You are unable to attach any USB device onto any of the ports and have them detected ? Are you running Windows or some other operating system? Does the Device Manager get busy once you dock a USB device onto the port ? Or sits there like a bump on a log ? Try assorted USB devices to be sure it is not your cable or single device.

              Everything is very simple. If we enter the BIOS in DOS, it will connect any USB keyboard and it will not work. Then Intel PCH needs to be changed.

                when I get home I send the measurements.

                when I connect any usb it doesn't work, I've already put a mouse, a pen drive in all the ports and nothing

                sorry for my bad english.

                  if the PCH is really bad, it wasn't for everything is bad?

                  I may be talking nonsense, I'm new in the area of electronic maintenance

                    Re: Dell Inspiron 3421 USB Port not working

                    What is the history of this computer? Was it working 100% and then just stopped working ?

                    It is strange that multiple ports are now defective.

                    Webcam works so the internal USB engine is working.

                    Perhaps some ESD transient that killed a port but having two damaged ports is quite strange.

                    Any liquid damage ?

                    You need to post more and full details - cannot guess each and every permutation.

                        Hello again.
                        I'm going to test it now at night when I get home from work to know the D+ and D-.

                        this computer are used and i bought it, according to the person I negotiated with, it was a nephew who traveled and ended up leaving the equipment, which had been idle for a long time. first sight all ok but in home i noted the problem in usb ports, I tested it when I bought it but I didn't test everything (see usb ports) but otherwise everything is ok.
                        Notebook is very expensive here in Brazil and this was an opportunity I thought to buy to be able to study, but it's as they say here "cheap comes expensive".

                          D+ and D- in all usb ports are ranging from 0.2v to 0.5v.


                          all option of usb are enabled on the bios.

                            Not OK. How about resistance to ground?

                              Dell inspiron 3421 that distortion on the screen

                              Good guys.
                              I have this problem with this Dell notebook, it has that distortion on the screen as you can see in the photo. has it ever happened to you?

                              I present the tests and measurements that I already did:

                              I tried with another screen and it does the same thing, I also put this screen on another one and it looks perfect.

                              I checked the LVDS flex that goes to the display and it is perfect
                              Through HDMI output the image looks perfect

                              All power lines were measured...

                              Dell Inspiron 3480 All in One corrupt Bios issue: reaches Dell logo and stops
                              by computerbacon79
                              The Dell Inspiron 3480 I own (the all in one, not the laptop) is not wanting to turn on at all. It goes right to a dell logo, but it stays there forever with no other information on the screen. Holding the automatic Bios repair key combo (ctrl+esc) that should let it read a recovery file off a USB drive gets stuck on a black screen and does nothing. No amount of resetting anything so far has worked, and Dell's own support downloads have not really helped. Ive tried another BIN file I found online using my CH341A, and this got me slightly more, that time it displayed a loading bar that never moved...

                              Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF - strange behavior and service_mode jumper not working anymore
                              by MMH3
                              Hello,

                              i have many 5050sff. all of them, and how i experienced over many years for all about 250 DELLs goin through my hands, are fully flashable and can be serviced in any way when the service_mode jumper is set.
                              Never ever i experienced problems with that.

                              Now i have one 5050sff machine, where this jumper isnt working at all.
                              I do not get the normal messge that the jumper is set when booting and a short test with FPT just confirms this. Everything is locked -->> EVEN for reading !?

                              The history of the machine is that i used it in my office...

                              by musanide
                              i have a dell inspiron 3542, the keyboard works with all the keys when the laptop turns on, i even go into the Bios setup and do all that i want, but once the Os start to load the keyboard stops working completely.. I have tried the following diagnostics:-
                              1.Installed different versions of windows os.
                              2.Installed Ubuntu Os
                              3.Update Keyboard drivers from the official dell website
                              4.Tried different keyboards.
                              5.Updated Bios firmware.
                              6.Flashed a new Bios firmware and even changed the Bios Chip
                              and yet the keyboard couldnt start working normally,...
