I have been using a PC with ASUS M3N78 PRO motherboard for a few years now. It is running Windows7 64-bit.

Just recently, I bought an internal multi-card reader/writer that fits into case and attaches to one of the USB sockets on the motherboard. It has a light on front so that it is easy to see when powered up.

Anyway, it worked for a few days and then I put an SD-card in and the light went out. So, I moved it to another USB socket and the same thing happened.

Today, I have just moved it to the 3rd (and final) socket and that has now stopped working!

So, I am guessing I have a faulty unit that is causing the USB socket to fail. Has anybody any ideas why that should be and whether it is possible to resurrect the sockets?
 
Some motherboards in the early days of new USB stuff had reversed pins on the motherboard headers and you had to move the pins around. Was rare but I encountered a few that were different. Only thing I can maybe think of. Non-standard USB socket on the mothboard??
