USB problems

[hiro]

i'd be interested to know if this is a common problem as a mate has a dodgy tiny pc and his rear usb ports work fine but two at front seem to have no power

You can probably get a PCI card with several USB ports on for a tenner.

Sony desktop, now there's a thing. :!:

The front ports usually have to be wired onto a header on the mobo and quite often arent wired in, the back ports are part of the mobo.
