Whenever I connect anything to a USB port: printer, webcam, mouse etc. it always says usb port malfunction and they won&#39;t work. This goes for all 4 ports. I called Dell up and they said it was a hardrive problem and sent me a new hardrive from another problem and said this problem would be fixed to. However it didn&#39;t and I was hoping there was something I could do to fix it. It seems that if I wiggle the device around I can get it to work but then as soon as I move my hand away the port malfunctions again. I would prefer to fix it myself if possible so I don&#39;t have to send it to Dell to do it.<br /><br />Anyone got any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it?
