    HP Probook 4515s All USB Ports not working.

    Hi

    I have a Probook 4515s here which had broken USB ports... They were so broken all the pins were shorting to ground.

    Checked the controller chips for the USB power they are all GOOD. 5v GOOD
    BUT the moment you plug in a device nothing happens.
    On the scope I see the D-(3.3V) Gets pulled HIGH once you plug something in but D+ doesn't.

    I traced the circuit but there doesn't seem to be much in between as they are strapped directly onto the South Bridge ports.

    So I wondered if anyone has any ideas... apart from faulty South Bridge. (I don't have the tools to replace that yet...)

    first remove the shorts. as long as the pins are shorted, do not connect any USB device to them.

      Caspian. Hi.

      Yes I have removed/Replaced the physical ports. I forgot to add that to the first post. time ran out to edit the post... Anyways the shorts are gone the ports are physically GOOD and getting the following.

      UNPLUGGED
      VCC = 5V
      D- = 60mV (In LOW State)
      D+ = 60mV (In LOW State)
      GND = GND

      DEVICE PLUGGED IN
      VCC = 5V
      D- = 3.3V
      D+ = 60mV (LOW STATE Semi noisy...)
      GND = GND

        replace L25 if you have another one.

          Will try that in a moment and report back.

          To add. On one port that component(Similar to L35 - inductor/ferrite bead/filter) was totally broken off the board, replaced it.
          Tested the continuity on the Lxx components for each Port and they are fine, Ohms are 1.3 they are all the same.
          But ill replace them for the sake of it anyways.

          ANother EDIT:
          Following this
          The Resistances are then a bit too high... Ill have to test them out of circuit aswell... The Ohm test above is in circuit.

          FINAL EDIT:
          Replaced all the Lxx components for each USB Port. No Difference. Same remains D+ don't getting pulled High once you plug in a device. I'm going to go ahead and assume its on the South Bridge side.

              Yeah I'm going with that as well.... I hate that people (clients) can't think that when they break USB ports the longer they use the laptop the more damage it causes while shorting out.... Its like clients that switch a laptop on after they spilled liquid on it

                820-01814 No image on LCD and USBC ports acting strange
                by samolo75
                Hi, I hope you are doing great,
                I am confronting this weird behavior from this MBP from 2019.
                The motherboard is 820-01914A MBP 15inch 2019
                The initial symptoms the user told me was that from one day to another the display was just black and the toucchbar would show only the ESC button.
                Connecting an external monitor they wiped everything and installed again. The computer boots but "same" thing. Now with external monitor you can "use" the system. The backlight from the internal display works and reacts when changing the brightness, but stays black...

                Odd One: 820-00923, Won't Boot to External on 2 Ports
                by ugamazing
                We got a really weird one in the shop last week and I've just been trying to figure out exactly what could cause the issue's we're experiencing. The symptoms are odd:

                820-00923, no liquid, no damage, not previously-repaired, etc.

                1. Unit powers up and boots fine; passes AHT, SSDs wipe/install OS perfectly fine, unit will run for hours under stress, and charge/discharge totally fine from ALL four ports. No issues until...

                2. You try to boot to an external drive (OS installer or bootable drive, doesn't matter) using ONLY the "bottom" port on each...

                Dell Latitude 5590 USB ports not working
                by mnciks11
                Hello my lovely brothers

                I have a dell Latitude 5590 USB ports are not working, I don't get any 5v on the USB ports, can a bios affects this?, I was suspecting the bios because I bought this from a company, are the USB ports locked?

                One ports is working though...

                CF-20 Toughbook (mk1) Trackpad/Touchpad and USB ports not working
                by MichelinMan
                Hey guys,

                Just purchased a CF-20 (mk1) supposedly was all working. However, the seller had done a fresh install of windows 10 but did not install any driver. Seller was adamant the trackpad/touchpad was working.

                The touchpad/trackpad does not work. No led lights near the trackpad. The keyboard works, the USB 2 port on the base does not work, The USB 3 ports will recognise a USB 3 flashdrive but did not recognise a USB mouse. The ethernet port on the keyboard section works.

                The USB 3 port on the actual tablet section works with no issues.
                ...
