Hi,<br>Ports and controller are soldered on, typically. So if you are sure that the hardware is blown, only recourse is to replace the logic board.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/1/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Hi,<br><br>I just had a hardware question, not too related to the list, but just wanted to throw it out, because it's been wracking my brain.<br><br>I've got a 12" ibook G4 1.2ghz. the usb ports appear to been blown--they just stopped working one day. I installed the usb polling software from Apple, and it doesn't detect any of my peripherals whenever I plug them in. One of the two ports appears to have power (powers a little usb led I have), but neither can read my usb memory stick.
<br><br>It's out of warranty, and I was wondering if there are any DIY options to replacing them. I think if I took it to the store, they'll have to replace my entire logic board, which costs $500+.<br><br>Thanks!<br><span class="ad">
