| 1306477 | 2012-10-11 23:24:00 | My computer (ASUS K53S series) has three usb ports, two usb 2's and a usb 3. Often, my usb 3 port won't work - it won't detect a device I plug into it. Its done this with plenty of different devices/usb sticks, so its not just having an issue with the one device. Other times it works perfectly. Am I looking at a dodgy usb port here? Any other possible things causing this? Cheers |

But if you want to access them, see if they show up in disk management, right click on your flash drive (in disk management) then open/explore. Could be a dodgy USB port. If the flash dirve's do not show up in disk management, well it's a bad USB port. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1306479 | 2012-10-11 23:42:00 | Just tried that thanks. Tried it four times and the results are was detected normally and everything was fine - 2 didn't show up in my computer but showed in disk management - 1 just didn't show - 1. |

| 1306480 | 2012-10-11 23:52:00 | Had that happen a few times. Plugging something into a USB3 port and it didn't work, USB2 ports, not a problem, this is on several PC's, different devices. Seems some devices dont/wont work to good on USB3 ports. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1306482 | 2012-10-12 03:03:00 | Maybe there's a flaw in the USB3 connector design. I've also been noticing one of my two front USB 3.0 ports has been flakey lately, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it stops working while something is plugged in. I've been meaning to take the side of and check the connections. I also have an Asus board. annoying too, it's the one I usually plug my USB 3.0 flash drive into. |

| 1306484 | 2012-10-12 06:40:00 | If it's both I'd start looking at hardware... Unless you're really unlucky. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1306485 | 2012-10-12 07:16:00 | Windows or Suse, Nick? Or both? I've only had that problem in windows now that I think about it. Have only used that port a few times while using Suse though. Just tried to trigger it in Suse by plugging in several different flash sticks. 10 straight successes, no failure so far. |
