Now if all that has been checked the next step would be to confirm that your MB USB headers are all OK..IF they are then..it must be a internal issue with that Recon..might be time for a RMA..Sorry.. :(

Make sure you tell them the steps that you have taken to diagnose the problem..and Good luck..let us know how it works out.. 

Your best effort is the easiest thing to give to someone else..
