[QUOTE="Stanley, post: 1302472, member: 118270"] I came across a MBP that with disabled USBs. Tried the usual resets I found via search. Nothing. I think they are fried and so that would mean a logic board swap. $$$. What about using an external hub with USB and FireWire inputs and a FireWire output that connects to the still working FireWire port? So any USB peripherals would plug into the external hub which itself would be wall-wart powered for the USB 5V supply. I understand that you cannot replace the USBs so I thought this could provide some functionality to the owner of that laptop for now. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
