how do you check if your USB ports are working and is it easy to replace USB ports thanks for any help
Easiest way is to just to try USB devices that you know work. As for replacing USB ports thats a yes and no answear. It is not easy to replace USB ports attached to your mobo, maybe if you're a expert solderer, but even then its a maybe. Alternatively you could just install a PCI USB expansion card for ten quid or so, depending on the number of ports you want to add.
