Problem description: I've been having continual issues with the USB ports on this Elitebook 8560w for the past few months. At this point, the two(USB 2.0) ports on the left side will not recognize anything plugged into them at all. In what may be a separate issue, some peripherals plugged into the 3.0 ports on the right hand side will not install their proper drivers. I have two "Unknown Devices" showing up as well, each sharing the same Hardware ID of: USB\VID_8087&PID_0024&REV_0000 USB\VID_8087&PID_0024 Attempted fixes: I've tried going into Device Manager, uninstalling the Root Hubs, rebooting, and scanning for hardware changes, but that doesn't seem to fix the issue. I've tried installing the latest Intel chipset drivers (as there is no separate USB 2.0 driver for the HP EliteBook 8560w), but that didn't work either. I didn't figure it'd do vary much because of the big warning on the Intel site: **Important** The Intel Chipset Device Software does not install drivers for AGP or USB. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS UTILITY IF YOUR DEVICE MANUFACTURER IS RECOMMENDING IT TO CORRECT AN "AGP DRIVER," "AGP GART," OR "USB DRIVER" ISSUE; IT WILL NOT CORRECT YOUR ISSUE. My next step was going to be trying to remove items from the registry, but I felt like I should reach out for help before I start doing that. Recent changes: I'd installed a USB 2-port hub that I've never used before, built in to the Dell 24" monitor I just received. -- Operating system:Windows 7 Pro, SP1 System specs: HP Elitebook 8560w Location: Canada I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes

r0ck0 posted:From this page: The F-Lock light on my wired key board lights up for a half-second when I plug it in to one of the two ports, but then goes dark. Otherwise other devices (my cellphone, my iPod) won't charge from the ports. I have reinstalled the USB 3.0 driver from that page, but that hasn't helped with much (if anything).

r0ck0 posted:Plugged into the 2.0 port you gently left up or push down on the plug does it get power/light up? If you plug them into the usb 3.0 ports do they charge/get power? I edited my previous post to note that I actually had installed the USB3 drivers, but they didn't solve the issue. Sorry! And I lied earlier! Half-inserting the USB plug into the port leaves the F-lock light lit. My phone also seems to register.... something. Not enough for an actual connection, though, and I don't get any activity in Device Manager showing me that anything has been connected.

Sorry about the double-post, but... I tested all the ports using a diagnostic available in my BIOS/UEFI, and all ports work until Windows is loaded. Sooo... Windows drivers, 100% chance, I guess.

r0ck0 posted:does that test rule out a physical hardware connection problem? Yup. Tried the keyboard in all ports, and I was able to interact with the BIOS/UEFI with all of them.

Zogo posted:Is it possible for you to do a system restore going back a few weeks to before the problem existed? Unfortunately, it's an inherited laptop, and somehow there aren't any system restore points that old. It's feeling more and more like it's time for a format and reinstall.
