vegettoxp Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hello there Guys, after looking into your recommendation on my USB Problems, I have found out that when I Plug in my External USB Hard Drive at the Back of my case directly onto the USB on the MB, my HD will perform fine, but when I Plug the HD into the Front Panel USB, I would have connection problem. Now my question is the Motherboard USB Connector Bad or is it the Front Panel USB Ports that are Bad. And if either of these is Bad, what are my option to solve this problem. Can I buy a third party Add-on USB card that use that?Your ThoughtsJosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrofLuigi Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I've seen that.Not enough power delivered to the front connector(s).Nothing is broken, just the way it is. Continue plugging it in the back, and maybe try with short extender cable.GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Sometimes the ports on the back are connected to a "good" controller and the ones on the front are not or are connected to an internal "hub" that creates the problem.This is expecially true when:booting from USB (back ports usually work while front ones may not)using a 2.5" USB hard disk (that draws power directly from the USB port, some external USB 2.5" drives have an Y cable to get power from 2 ports)Example:http://www.bixnet.com/5vps2powercord.htmljaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
