Please Help! UNKNOWN Device USB
I'll try my best to explain my problem and see if anyone here can explain
this because I stumped! I brought a DELL 8300 in April this year and last month I noticed in Device Manager under the USB section, there was an entry in there about unknown device which I tracked down to being the Brother printer, so I replaced the cable and it still showed up as unknown device, so I changed it to another USB port and everything worked fine, so I plugged in another USB device where the printer was and that showed up as unknown and a message showing unknown device bla, bla, bla, so I rang Dell and said my USB port is faulty and they send a replacement MB out which I then decided to do a clean install and all was well until today when I plug in my phone which was configured to the USB port and it showed up as unknown again (same port) I unplugged the phone from the cable and plugged it in again and now it's working fine, Not sure when it will say unknown again.... It maybe a SP-2 issue, I don't know, can someone shed some light on my problem please, motherboard again?? Thanks |

Please Help! UNKNOWN Device USB
Just to add to this, the Unknown device under the USB section did not have
any yellow ? beside it, it was like it was installed correctly but after seaching google I came up with another issue after following these steps. 1. Click Start. Click Run. Type cmd and press OK. 2. Type "set DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS=1" (without quotation marks) and press Enter. 3. Type "set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1" (without quotation marks) and Press Enter. 4. Type "start devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) and click press Enter. Then I found a unknown device with the Yellow ? beside it and it was greyed out, I removed it and refreshed the device manager which it configured a BASE SYSTEM DEVICE, weird "Clayton" wrote in message ...
