Need help making USB3.0 port work

[eyeangle]

I had a custom PC built for me but they only gave me one USB3.0 port. How do I make the right one work?

You can't, there's no metal in there. It's just a partial hole in the case that the case maker didn't fill with a USB socket.

 

You could look into mounting your own cable, but it will need to be secured to the inside of the case VERY strongly - which will be hard to do as a retrofit.

Thanks for your reply.

 

Arh, that's frustrating. I do have more USB3.0 ports on the rear IO but I wouldn't mind having a go if it's not too complicated.

 

It's a Thermaltake Versa N25 case.

 

I'll have a look online and see if I can find a tutorial.

If it's a Thermaltake Versa n25 case, you at least know the case manufacturer and model. ... Likely what has happened your case was optioned with a base option of 1x USB3 port... which means the breakout board and likely the internal cable only have 1x port... the case type may have a similar model that has 2x ports... you'll have to do some hunting, but may be found on a Replacement Parts section on the Manufacturer's website or places like eBay (used and maybe jacked price)... then to figure out if your internal wiring harness for the electronic board will support the new added features or you'll have to find that part as well

Look at similar cases in the Versa N25 range for the parts you need...

hope that helps....

If you can't find the parts.... a Dremel may be in your future...
