One of my USB ports on the right hand side of the notebook no longer works.

There is no falt in the "Device Manager". I think the problem is physical. I was not looking and put my Audio socket into it . It does not look damaged, but it is the only thing I can think of that has caused this problem. There are two ports together on this side of the book. 1 now works and the other does not.


Would this port be connected directly on to the MB and is not replaceable?
 
It might be worth reinstalling the chipset drivers.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I reinstalled the chipset, but it is still not working.

I opened the notebook up. There are two USB ports in one unit, directly attached to the MB. I guess I am stuck using just the port that works.
