Check if there is a setting in the BIOS to enable them. &nbsp;If you are using WinXP, make sure you have installed service pack 1, which has a USB patch.

Hey people i have a toshiba satellite pro 4600 and i believe that the USB port on it are deactivated because when i plug in anything basically it doesn't find them and doesn't even seem to register i have put anything in...for example when i plug my memory stick it normally there is a power light on it which would come on when u simply plug it in isn't coming on... so basically my question is how do i activate/switch them on??<br />

Activate USB ports on laptop

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
