Does anyone know if there is a way to put new USB ports on a laptop if the existing ones are already fucked...(as in the prongs are all bent and dont work anymore)

I already bought some stupid ------ internet card lookin thing but that didnt work.. Any suggestions because I need my iPod to ------ work meow.



If so can u send a link to the product if somehow something exists

Does your laptop have a pcmcia card? If so,

Yeah but does it need to be powered by an existing USB? because mine are fucked already.

like cody said...

you just buy a pcmcia usb card plug it in to your pcmcia slot and your good to go...

pcmcia doesnt need to be powered by anything....

lol.. i cant imagine how you fucked the usb slots on your pc :-X

maybe it came loose from the motherboard, it happends sometimes. And the only fix is to replace the MB or get a new laptop. Ive seen it before.

No gateways are just checp I guess. I used the ports alot in college for external memory drives and the prongs are shitty anyways.

resolder a new connector to the usb jumpers or whatever on the mobo :)

Re: Computer Stuff
 

That or just go with the PCMIA option, that seems the simplest thing to do IMO.

Cool, I'll have to try the pcmcia first then maybe tear the ---- up and try and solder because I could almost care less about the computer anymore. Outdated POS.

i would try to resolder it. my connector for my power cord was all fucked up on my laptop and i had to take it apart and resolder it, look spretty ghetto but works liek a charm.
