GA 7N400 Pro2 F_USB problem
The front USB connectors on my case are (as far as I can tell) correctly
connected to the F_USB plug on the mainboard. However, USB devices that I plug into the front case connectors either produce a "USB device not working properly" error message or are not acknowledged at all. The USB connections on the rear ATX cluster are fine. Problem exists with Windows XP and Windows XP SP 2. I suspect a driver problem but have no idea how to resolve it. What should show up in Device Manager? I don't see anything with "USB2" in the device name. What drivers should the various USB components be using? If anyone has this board and knows that their F_USB is working OK, could you see what your device manager says? Thanks, -- John Goulden |

Windows won't be able to detect any wiring problems between the board and your front USB ports however ... check the connections are right, I had mine wired up wrong when I first installed the board. The USB ports will show up in windows no matter what you do with the wiring, barring shorting pins out of course. The USB port, which is all windows is concerned with, is sat on your motherboard ... the only thing the wiring does is extend the port connections to a standard socket. You could have nothing connected to the motherboard socket and windows would still see the hardware working ok. The only time you'll know that there's a problem is when you try to use it as you've found out. let us know how you get on Mal |

Certainly the 7VA series of boards have them. My local computer shop has "no-name" equivalents with the same wiring. If you can get hold of one of those, you can't plug it into F_USB wrongly. As far as I can tell, GB always lays out the MB header the same way. It's worth trying - if it works, then you did plug in the individual wires from the case USB ports wrongly (if it doesn't, then you know the MB header probably isn't working). Eddie B. |
