Signs of a Broken USB Port

Have you ever been in a situation where you need to transfer some important files from your computer, but your USB port isn’t working? It can be frustrating. When you swiftly or repeatedly remove and insert a USB drive or hard drive from a laptop, the USB port is more likely to stop responding, necessitating laptop repair.

Once your computer port gets to this point, it doesn’t recognize any USB device and fails to work. This makes it even harder to carry on with your daily tasks. However, at Fix My Gadget, we have experienced computer experts to help you replace or fix your broken USB ports. 
Here are three ways to know if your USB port is broken.

Physical damage is one of the most common signs of a broken port. The port may have been hit and cracked internally, thereby failing to detect devices like flash drives, music players, digital cameras, or cell phones.
USB ports are typically soldered to the motherboard. Unfortunately, these ports aren't permanent, and so with regular usage they can become loose or detach permanently.

There are times when you might insert a USB into your computer and get a "USB device not recognized" error message. In that case, you can try several solutions first before you conclude that the port is damaged. For instance, try restarting and disconnecting your USB drives. If this does not work, and you’ve tried other troubleshooting methods, you may need to get your laptop or computer repair done by a specialist.
