I have an A75-S231 Toshiba Satellite laptop that needs repair. I
know the USB Ports are damaged and need replaced. I can do the
repair myself, but need the Parts. I've tried finding parts online
but everyone wants me to send the Laptop to them for repair, but the
cost is unreal. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase replacement
parts? There is a single port on the right side and a dual port on
the back that needs replacement. Or am I totally screwed?

Please...Can anyone help?


I'm intrigued- how on earth has someone managed to damage *all three* USB
ports on the laptop, one of which is a completely seperate connector?! We're
talking physical damage to the sockets, right?

If they look OK but just don't work then the odds of the actual sockets
being the problem are extremely small- it's more likely to be a bad USB
controller IC, power failure to the ports (ie fuse open circuit) or some
other issue like drivers.
