Usb Connector

[jaredr2]

I built my first PC a few months ago, and it’s working great. However there is one small thing that’s bothering me. 

 

I have a Cougar MX330X case, and the usb 3.0 on the front is not working. 
 

I have already tried replugging the connection the the motherboard.

 

Are there any other things I can do to get it working? It’s not essential but would be nice to have.

 

(it’s also much too late to return the case)

check along the cable for any obvious defects/sharp bends

as well as motherboard pins

 

check the connection at the end of the cable, see if any soldering point looks broken/fishy

 

could also try installing the USB driver from motherboard website

One of these is a cheap test to find out if it's the case or motherboard:
