I had an older computer that died on me. My brother gave me his computer tower (b/c he's got his laptop) but not the monitor, keyboard and mouse, as a replacement. Shortly after I hooked up my "new" computer to my old setup, the monitor would not display. It had power but no display. I took it to my other brother who was able to restore the monitors original settings and now the monitor works. Problem is, the USB ports don't accept any input. I had to buy a ps/3 mouse/keyboard setup b/c of it. I can't connect my printer, download music to my ipod, nothing. My bro thinks that the USB ports are fried and thus beyond salvage. I don't know. Can you fry USB ports? Wouldn't something else be affected also? Is there any way to rememdy the problem, short of buying a new computer?
