Hi, I've been given a HP S3000 for my Son and the front USB ports are damaged.

Could anyone tell me if they can be replaced as I need to plug in the speakers I bought for it and they need to go in the front USB port and audio jack as far as I can tell.

Also, 2 of the USB ports at the back do not work and the cd/DVD drive isn't recognised

Not having much luck with it at the moment

Any help would be great.

Thanks

parts for this pc from Here

try re installing the drivers for usb ports,its quite easy then just go to poundland and get a usb thingy that turns one into 4

Thanks Willo

I did look at that item on eBay but the front USB port on mine is a double one.

Will search through the spares site.

Thanks

Managed to get the cd drive thingy working woo hoo

It looks like only the front usb ports that are damaged were 2.0 so i'm trying to update the ones in the back.

Found out this model is a S3000 but a S3023w series so it has the double front usb port.

try finding the mother board driver it should cure the problems just search your computers name and number and download them straight to your computer usually the computer manufacturers web site will have them

may be not just realised they want to charge you lol

dont know if you have a laptop or desk top but check out the hp website as there are free drivers on there
