Do your USB ports show up in your system bios? Do they show up in the device manager under windows?

A common issue with the T42 affecting either the display or USB ports is flexing of the motherboard which can take out either component. See the following link:

I'm having an intermittent display problem due to this. It may be possible the only solution is re-balling the MB or replacing it. The above link gives all the details. Good Luck!!!

thank you...
