I read in a site that u can use a standard serial communication cable.\n\nthe second site is more helpful. S/he's got same problem. As I see it, u may also use bluetooth.

For more USB ports, just buy an USB hub.\n\nTo add more serial ports try an USB to Quad-Serial like the link below.

If it has bluetooth built it you should see the bluetooth logo lit up somewhere on the outside of your laptop.\n\nIf you don't have bluetooth you can get a USB bluetooth dongle for not too much $.  I would look at tigerdirect.com

Yep -- stick it in a USB <-> IDE adapter box and plug it in the laptop USB port.

Yes, as you have discovered, some PS/2 to USB adapters simply don't work.   If your laptop has a PS/2 connector, then use that. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

You could have a short in your USB port.  Try putting other devices in the same port and see if the problem persists.

Get yourself a \nVantec NexStar 3 USB 2.0 Mirror Finish Black External Hard Drive Enclosure.  \nThis will turn your internal drive to become external drive so you can hook it up to you laptop via USB.

CHECK AND SEE IF YOUR USB PORT IS WORKING

The connection to you USB drive might not be working at all. Check the batteries, check the usb drive make sure a light turns on,  if everything is OK, I recommend you go to the vendor's website they usually have a driver for it.

I am sure you have discovered that the newer laptops do not include a serial port.  So, you might try a PCMCIA card that provides a serial port for $129.  \n\nhttp://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_pcmcia.php

You will need an adapter.\n\nSpecifically, a parallel-to-USB wire.\n\nThe link listed as a source is an adapter made by Belkin. It gives you some more information about this type of adapter.\n\nNOTE: The site may not represent the lowest price for the product. I highly advise searching local stores and internet sites for the lowest price.

you may want to try plugging it into a different USB port. or If it is not powered by the port, make sure the outlet its plugged into is working

There are ethernet connectors that actually connect to a USB port. I had one on my old desktop, and it worked fine (pretty inexpensive too!).
