| 1321405 | 2013-01-05 11:15:00 | Hi all I have a wireless mouse that has a USB receiver, which works in every other Port except one as the title says. I want to know how to fix this, I have already tried re-installing the drivers for it and stuff and it doesn't seem to be working, and have also tried plugging and unplugging the receiver, to no avail. How is this possible?:banana(Dancing of frustration) Oh it makes the hardware inserted sound when I put it in the port that it doesn't work showing that it is recognised but not working still? (It used to work in all of the ports) Also any other device works perfectly fine in this port. Please Help! |

| 1321407 | 2013-01-06 01:02:00 | I'll try that, though it looks like it might take a while - 20+ items | SanChippy (16951) | ||

That's what I thought, but he said other things work in that socket, so it seems a bit odd. Unless there was some marginal contact or such and it was just bad enough to prevent that specific device from working but not bad enough to stop anything else. |

| 1321410 | 2013-01-06 04:22:00 | Does it really have to be plugged into one particular socket? Anyway sounds like a poor connection, maybe a short USB extension cable might do the trick if it has a tighter fit and a better connection. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1321411 | 2013-01-06 08:30:00 | Yeah, the problem could be deformed or worn contacts every insertion is one less. If you see what I mean. |

| 1321412 | 2013-01-06 09:46:00 | ..... um I can not remember seeing that you have tried another mouse out on that "disobedient usb port", sometimes it pays to have a spare mouse in the draw. | Frank_sumbody (16923) | ||
| 1321413 | 2013-01-06 20:33:00 | Did you all miss where he said: any other device works perfectly fine in this port? |
