Nope, I didn't...

USB ports aren't working
in Hardware ·
Everything was working perfectly fine just two days ago...
I borrowed this external hard drive from a buddy—it’s a high-speed 3.0 drive—but my ports are old-school 2.0. I tried moving some files over, and now my ports have basically just given up on life.
The USB slots technically still "work" if you plug something in, but they won't recognize my keyboard, mouse, or printer at all.
For instance, when I plug my mouse into a port, the little laser flickers on for maybe three seconds and then dies—then nothing. Total silence. No response whatsoever...
If anyone actually knows how to fix this mess, please let me know because I am seriously at my wits' end here.🤷
