Wow, How the hell did you get your tooth inside a USB Hub??
Well i would suggest that you went to the local computer store and they can get it out.. I would also register this on Microsoft to say that you have a metal tooth in the computers USB Hub..,. They will love it, i would also take some pictures.. i would realy like to see it here at the Yahoo Answers computer technology department!
Thanks all the best

i might propose going onto eBay and searching for this: pc Card USB Hub I actual have one. I basically have 3 USB sockets and used to have my pc on a table related to a printer and scanner. I used a pc Card USB Hub so as that if i had to go my pc to the settee, all I had to do replaced into do away with the pc Card. they don't look to be very costly (extra value-effective than getting your pc repaired), and incorporate 2 or 4 ports. till now you purchase one, examine the place your pc Card socket is. you're able to desire to discover a 2 a million/2 huge cover that has a button next to it to do away with the canopy. it is going to slot in there. i'm hoping this helps.

If this is on a laptop, you have big trouble. A USB port on a desktop is fairly easy to replace. Not so with a laptop. You can call around to various repair shops and see what they would charge you to replace the port.

unplug the computer and everything else so that you can move it to a table touch the case to ground yourself and use tweezers to remove the broken piece
