Disable USB port on Toshiba Sate Model 1905-S303

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hello All: One of the USB ports on my laptop (Toshiba SAT Model
1905-s303) is damaged. The plastic piece came out of the usb port
housing while removing a device. My laptop was in for warranty
service and was denied repair because the warranty company felt this
was physical abuse. Since the repair company noted the usb port as
being damaged, the repair was denied. I sent the laptop in because of
overheating issues. Maybe the usb port is causing my lockup problems.
My question, can you disable the onboard usb ports in bios? I don't
have the laptop back.

Thanks
