Hey guys,
i bought an ASUS k53ta-bbr6 laptop refurbished a few months ago. I just noticed the USB 3.0 port doesn't work, i tried it only with usb 2.0 devices. I used a multimeter and it does have voltage going into it, but nothing i plugged in charged or came up on windows, any ideas?

look around the bios and see if you find any usb enable/disable options. Other than that, I'd say they don't work. Or the device you are using doesn't work. Does it work to plug it into the 2.0 ports?

Thanks for your replies guys,
I ended up reinstalling windows because i put an SSD in. This time i only installed the AMD chipset drivers, sound, LAN etc; and the AMD USB 3.0 utility driver, and now it works perfectly.
