Q: All USB Ports will not work on a Macpro 3.1
Hi
on my macpro 3.1 (OSX 10.7 - latest version) all USB connectors stopped working.
Connected devices:
- usb belkin bluetooth
- Nikon D5100 (off and on)
I already did the following:
Mac desktops (Mac Pro, iMac, Mac mini):
- Shut down your Mac.
- Unplug your Mac's power cord.
- Press and hold the Mac's power button for 15 seconds.
- Release the power button.
- Reconnect your Mac's power cord.
- Wait five seconds.
- Start your Mac by pressing the power button.
This did not help
I then went on to implement the following (from the same sourdce mentionend above):
If you have a Mac Pro that isn't responding to the normal SMC reset as described above, you can force a manual SMC reset by using the SMC reset button located on the Mac Pro's motherboard.
- Shut down your Mac.
- Unplug the Mac's power cord.
- Open the Mac Pro's side access panel.
- Just below the Drive 4 sled and adjacent to the top PCI-e slot is a small button labeled SMC. Press and hold this button for 10 seconds.
- Close the Mac Pro's side door.
- Reconnect your Mac's power cord.
- Wait five seconds.
- Start your Mac by pressing the power button.
This did not work either.
Is there any other suggestion of something I could do?
The keyboard is not working due to the usb malfunction. As a result I cannot log in or change anything with the keyboard.
