Default Broken USB ports?

Two of the three USB ports on my laptop are not working. Is it possible they might need some sort of cleaning? Is there a way to repair or replace a non-functional USB port on a laptop? I'm kinda clueless - and annoyed because now I have to unplug my mouse in order to plug in my printer, etc...

Default Re: Broken USB ports?

I don't know about cleaning them but you can get a usb adaptor. I don't know if that's what you (US) call them but you plug it into one port and it has four on it.

Maybe check the drivers? If they are dusty, you could try a can of air, but I'd be more inclined to think it's electrical or driver related.
