USB Ports wont work..

[Chris01]

Hey all

ever since yesterday, my USB ports havnt been working
They were all working fine then suddently my wireless reciever went and the only thing that works in the ports are my mouse
My wireless reciever, my 2 usb memory sticks all dont work, its really strange, i have the correct driver for my wireless and the 2 usb sticks are plug and play.
I formatted my drive after trying to get tgem to work and now they still dont work .
All the ports are working as my mouse is able to be used in all of them so i just dont know what the problem is.
thanks for any help,

Chris

Check if they are enabled in bios, just have a quick check.

ok, after a lot of research and testing suggestions from the internet, ive got them working!
All i had to do was turn off the laptop without the charger in!!!!!!!!
I am so ****** off, ive spent hours trying to get them to work! Im gutted.
oh well, at least ive learnt what to do if it happens again

No swearing.
