and i will install driver and download 3.0 port driver and installed but it is not working it was supply on power
 
Is it not working at all, with anything, or not working with a certain device? Also is it that it isn't working when the laptop is on, or when the laptop is turned off?
 


Mine just started malfunctioning, I think. I had transferred some data using this port, first from a camera, then from the laptop to a USB-connected backup drive. This is the port with teh blue table on AMD A8-based Lenovo G50, Windows 8.1 build 9600. When I plug it in, suddenly my USB connected mouse and keyboard (using the other two ports) start to malfunction somewhat, and I start hearing the USB connection / disconnection noise repeatedly, every 10 or 15 seconds. Just powered off and restarted, and it still seems to be an issue. Would appreciate any suggestions. I think it is updated but need to doublecheck that.
