Something happened!

Hi guys.

How do i figure out if my motherboard has a short circuit or my pc case is the problem?

 

I have a Define R6 case with usb ports on top 2x 2.0 and 2x 3.0. The little reciever from my logitech mouse and keyboard is in the 2.0 and in the other 2.0 i placed my ipad. When i connected my ipad it connected and disconnected alot of times and very fast, so i pulled it out again immediately. 

 

Now the 2.0 ports doesn't work.. Case problem or motherboard problem?

If it's bad wiring it could be the case, if it's a bad USB controller it could be the motherboard.

 

Do you have any other USB cables you could connect to the motherboard?

I tried with other cables with no luck. But.. it seems like the problem was only temporary, because now about 30 minuts later they started working again. So problem solved? somehow..

 

But thanks for answering!

Intermittent issues are the worst. It's liable to start doing it again in time. If it does, come back and we'll try to figure something out.

 

Cheapest option would be a PCI_e USB card.
