Hi~

My Compaq Evo has 6 USB ports, 4 in the back and 2 in the front, however the 2 in 
front no longer work.  
One of them is bent and I'm not sure if it's worth fixing or replacing, but the other 
one appears to be fine.  
I was hoping to at least get that one working again, but I can't even find it in 
the Device Manager. Does anybody have any suggestions?  I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks~

See if you can unplug the damaged one at the motherboard. It may be shorting out the good one so it doesn't work.
