each component in your computer as an IRQ adress if you have installed any hardware recently it may have taken over your USB's IRQ address.go to the control panel click on system peformance then performance and maintenance.when you are on this you should see about six tabs at the top of the window click on hardware then go to device manager at the left hand side of your screen you should see the words IRQ addresses,make sure that your USB ports have a IRQ address assigned to them.only use IRQ addresses which arent being used by other components,i know it sounds complicated but print this out and take your time.

It's very possible that you just broke the USB ports on your laptop. If you can find other things you can plug in to it, try those. If they don't work try updating your drivers. If that doesn't work, then you have broken the drives somehow.

All I can suggest is that you go check out the USB controllers.
Go to:
Control panel > Performance & maintenance > System > Device manager
Click on Universal serial controllers.
Look for an exclaimation mark or click on one and run the trouble shooter.
Hope that helps.
Could be a hardware fault though!

Remove the drivers then shut down your computer wait 30 secs then turn it on.Windows will reinstall the drivers.They may have become corrupted.If they still won't work try updating the drivers! You can try updating the drivers first and if that doesn't work ,do the remove and restart your computer!
To remove or un- install the drivers right click on "My Computer" and select properties.then device manager.Finf the usb ports and uninstall them then restart your computer! For more info go to the USB maufacture's website

If its a hardware problem, replacing the USB sockets may not be enough, considering they all went at the same time, I would say its a problem on the mother board. Something might have fused with the heat. Laptops have a real problem keeping cool because they are so compact.
Is it still under warranty? Return to vendor. If not claim under home contents insurance, you may have to be creative on the claim form. "It may have been from a power spike or something."
