None of my USB ports are working. I think it's a

Check device manager. Try reinstalling or updating drivers.

Slow down take a breath,no its not 200 buck fix.
relax
first off that PC has more than one USB port
ill assume all are dead and no external USB hubs used.
first lets do the simple mouse.
you heard the Dingdog,so PNP is alive.
at pnp it finds the old local driver for mr.unnamed mouse,if that fails, at it will on a new mouse
it then looks in the local PNP cabs,for the matching PNP driver,
this can fail easy on newer mice.
so then it looks on the internet (microsoft directed)

but you must be connected to the internet
to get this far, ARE YOU?
so PNP can find the drivers.
boy vista drivers might be lean....vista is ugly OS.
lets see,ever look at,(drum rollllll) HP.com
that is not spam that is the official source of
perfectly matching drivers.
the mice have 1000s of makers,and not the same

so when you plug it in, 1st time, pNP will try to find local driver.and most times fail. (even my simple Logitech files
but in device manager, right click the dead mouse name seen there. and pick ,up date driver
must be on the internet, wifi or wired.
bingo it finds it
if DM has huge errors all over,
here are your drivers.
all drivers for you pc, at hp.com
can be downloaded and force fed
the are exe files and run and load.
we cant guess what version of vista is on your machined, real HP Vista
or was installed by others, from MICROSOFT
AND MISSING ALL YOUR HP DRIVERS. OR SOME.
ONLY YOU AN LOOK AND LEARN THAT.


HP.com (all key USB drivers are there, for sure)
your dV5000 is not a correct name see bottom of Lt

down load the matching driver for vista there.

Essentially, your USB controller/Hub has stopped functioning.
I would take this in 4 steps, for proper troubleshooting

1. First thing to do is to open up device manager
Windows 10 - Right click start button > Device Manager
Windows 7 - Click start > right click "My Computer" > click Device Manager
In there, locate "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" and see if any of them have a yellow exclamation point next to them indicating it has errored. Right click the faulty device, uninstall driver, then restart computer and see if functionality returns when it re-installs the driver automatically.

2. If this does not work, or if none of them are erroring, I would recommend finding the USB Bus driver(s) on the manufacturer's website and manually updating it/them (open the website associated with your computer eg; hp.com for an HP, then type in your model number in their support section, and click on drivers. Locate your USB drivers and continue from there).

3. A windows reinstall could also repair it, but that is an extreme and should be resorted to last.

4. If even that doesn't work, the device is damaged and most likely needs physical repair. If you have reached this point, I would recommend taking it into a professional as you would most likely need to know how to solder a new one to the motherboard, depending on make/model. Costs vary by professional.

Kindly Reinstall the Operating system. The common cause of the ports failure is due to drivers conflict, this can be caused by malware or trojan attack. Reinstalling drivers when the computer is infected by a virus is not advisable. Format the machine clean. If this fails you may need to replace system board. Callistus [email protected]
