It's amazing... aside from one of the 3 USB ports on the side do not work. Is this something that I can fix? I **need** the computer in the next few weeks, so I think its something that can take a back seat. Please assit... <BR /><BR />BTW: It's the USB furthest from the screen that is affected...<BR /><BR />Cheers, Colin<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Jul 2005 14:49:03 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/defunct-usb-port/m-p/117550#M107794 colinmann 2005-07-22T14:49:03Z Re: Defunct USB Port https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/defunct-usb-port/m-p/117551#M107795 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It sounds like you could have a loose connection, you may have to send it to off to sony to get it repaired.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Jul 2005 14:52:44 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/defunct-usb-port/m-p/117551#M107795 febs 2005-07-22T14:52:44Z Re: Defunct USB Port https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/defunct-usb-port/m-p/117552#M107796 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Ive never experienced this on a Notebook, but from my experience with desktops it will either be a short around the USB circut on the Motherboard, for that particular port, or another common problem is that the actual circuit inside the port is damaged, possibly through plugging in a faulty device. However, sadly both will mean sending the laptop back!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Jul 2005 14:56:50 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/defunct-usb-port/m-p/117552#M107796 feederfan 2005-07-22T14:56:50Z Re: Defunct USB Port https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/defunct-usb-port/m-p/117553#M107797 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>do any of you guys know how long it is to get a replacement?
