G55VW Left USB 3 Ports Doesn't Work

[taupeng]

Hi, I'm having issue with the two left USB 3 Ports doesn't work. I can see them in the bios but not being recognized by Windows when plugging in a thumb drive or any USB devices. The two ports on the right are working perfectly fine. I have reinstalled Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver several versions including the latest version from Intel or Asus support page, still no go. Thanks for the help!

Edit: I don't have Live Update Utility installed.

Install this and they will work:

Intel USB 3.0 Driver v1.0.7.248

Should i uninstall the previous driver then install this?

[Clintlgm]

Yes, and uninstall it from Add Remove programs not from device manager

and make sure to restart after you uninstall. then install the new one, then reboot again

for god's sake, these are questions only someone who has just got his first computer yesterday would ask

Oh ok wise guy, i'm just trying to rule out any possibilities of error.


Nope, still doesn't work. 😞

is all device unable to recognize at left USB 3.0 port? is it able to charge?

[taupeng]

I did the full clean install following the guide, still a no go.

The two left USB ports are unable to recognize and not able to charge too. I'm planning to take the laptop to a Asus Service Center today.

[taupeng]

Yes I did.
