I bought this motherboard for $70 used (knowing about the USB problem) and none of the ports work (both USB 2.0 and 3.0), not even my case's ports work. I'm able to get around the computer using a PS2 keyboard and an iPhone app as a touchpad.
There's power coming out of all ports (can charge phone from them) and I doubt this is a hardware problem. Latest bios (1.80) is installed.
