most likely an electrical issue. I would just google USB ports not working and go from there.

She probably transferred too much Blacks On Blondes onto her flash drive.

I always get scared something like that is a mainboard issue, which pretty much means you have to replace your laptop!

Remove the USB drivers and reinstall them. I dont know what brand your laptop is, but if they dont have individual USB drivers it should be included with the chipset driver. (Intel/AMD chipset drivers.)

To be safe check the devices she wants plugged in. Just plug it your computer and if it works you know its her laptop. If its a cheap flash drive it probably quit working, mine never seem to last longer than 6 months.

Haha, it probably WAS a driver issue, but it got freed up by rebooting the system. That's why those Tech Support tards always insist on you doing it 4-5 times when you call a 1-800 number.
