Simple checks you can do:
- Plug the device into a different port to rule out a single faulty one
- Try a different USB cable or memory stick
- Restart your computer – this resets internal connections
- Check for loose or wobbly ports (common if you plug/unplug often)
When to call us:
If ports feel loose or still won’t work after testing, the port itself or internal connection is damaged. We replace USB ports on all laptops and PCs here in Bolton.
