For over a month now, I have not had full functionality with the usb ports on my HP laptop. They're recognizing some devices and not others.

Working:

My external hard drive
Logitech controller

Not working:

Mice (I've tried several) - in fact nothing even happens when I plug it in. The mouse doesn't light up and nothing happens in windows

My phone - same as all the mice I've tried

Zune - this one actually gets a reaction from Windows, but is not recognized

I've tried reinstalling drivers, doing a system restore, malware scans, I have no idea what's wrong. I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue. Perhaps you guys could give me some input?
