Yes, you can buy a PC Card or Cardbus, or PCMCIA card (what ever you want to call it) and use that for USB. Double check drivers and patches for your laptop though, USB ports don't die all that often, it could be a software issue. If you do purchase a card installing it yourself shouldn't be to hard.
