[QUOTE="cowasaki, post: 670078, member: 36098"] I am just looking at the service manual for the first intel imac 20". Its not clear re the USB ports as there is no actual picture in the service manual of the logic board in that area. The USB ports etc are on the back of the main board and it does sound like the most likely cause is a shorted usb socket. Dependent on how hard you pushed it in you may have broken the USB port's connection with the logic board or even cracked the logic board. Like Aztech said it is worth taking a close look at that USB port and if there are any bent pins unbend them! If you take it to an Apple centre they will follow the flowchart and replace the logic board at a cost of ?????? If the USB port is terminally damaged it would be better removed that pay for a new logic board. [/QUOTE]
