My Laptop's USB: U Suck Balls
 

Okay, this time I'm gonna keep it fast and simple: I put a USB in the port but it can't read it. I do the troubleshooting given to me by Windows and nothing.

I first tried connecting an external hard drive and then a 2gb USB. Neither of them work. What the hell is going on???

Try this solution I posted to see if it helps.

Hey thanks. I didn't know about that thread, so awkwardness ensues -_-'!!!

Strangely, my USB started working again just then, while transferring my memory stick photos onto my computer. Could it have something to do with my memory stick?

That's the thing: USB can be very tricky if it isn't treated correctly, and even if it is, it can still bite you back.
