For about a month now, I have been unable to use any USB devices of any kind. When I plug in one of my flash drives, which has an LED indicator, the indicator does not light up, meaning that there is not even power going through. Any advice on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Here is some information that may be relevant:
