İf your usb ports are lost Remove the battery and restart again, it is a know problem, silly windows doesnt erease memory even if you shut down and restart, one must remove the battery for a complete clean restart, several times I lost the usb ports after removing batteries problem solved.

I’ve experienced the same problem with my Sony Vaio on a Vista OS. The solution is quite simple whenever you have problems with your USB ,Bluetooth or with your WIFI. its a matter of unplugging everything like >> the power, the Battery and all that are connected to your USB ports and if Ethernet is connected remove it aswell and leave it for 10 mins. then plug everything again and turn it on. Voila problem solve.

This is the best ever solution i’ve had. Tried deleting \windows\inf files, deleting USB hubs thru Hardware Manager, downloaded update software from Sony for my laptop and even downloaded SP from Microsoft (days of troubleshooting) with no result.

I also have a Sony Vaio, and yesterday when I turned the computer on, I had an error saying that a USB device was not recognized – however, I did not have anything plugged into any of the USB ports. Later I tried to print something and it wouldn’t work. Today my computer wouldn’t even turn on. The green light would come on, but nothing would happen. After a while I unplugged the ac power, and when I back and plugged it in – it worked! However, I still had the USB error – even though nothing was plugged in. Later on, it decided not to turn on again – I finally got it back on, but the error pops up about every minute, and nothing that I plug into the USB ports will work.

After falling asleep several times with my laptop on my lap, and it crashing to the floor, due to my wireless mouse strip being plugged in I have jack’d my usb’s up. I have a toshiba a205-s5809, I purchased a pcmcia card the brand is uxcell. well i cant get it to anything.

Your Toshiba Satellite A205 doesn’t have PCMCIA slot. It comes with ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 slot.
You’ll have to buy an ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54 USB card.
