Best Answer

If you are talking about the port on the computer case, get a new one from the MFG

of your pc.

If your talking about the post on the motherboard, most times it can not be fixed.

You can see if there is another one you can use ,or switch it with one that you don't use often.

What is the simplest way to determine the usb is not causing a problem?

I would remove the usb device and see if the problem goes away, if it doesn't you will need to open the computer. Once inside, you will see a serial wire coming from the suspected usb port to the motherboard, go to the motherboard and disconnect this jack. Hopefully your problem will go away, there may be a short in the port itself causing too much electrical current in the motherboard.


Is it possible to fix a USB Im not very techy so i dont know the correct term but the silver connector thing got bent ive pulled it apart and the chip looks fine is it possible to retrieve?

I don't know if you are talking about the USB port in your computer or the USB plug itself. If the USB port in the computer the only fix is to replace your mother board. The work around for this is there's usually multiple USB ports on each motherboard so you can just use another port. If the plug itself... I'm sorry you are going to have to replace the device. I hope it's not a thumb drive with information you haven't backed up on it.
