Macbook Pro USB ports not working.

So, maybe about five or six months ago after no specific event my USB ports randomly stopped working, or at least somewhat. By this I mean if I attempt to use a mouse in either port it will recieve power for about 3-8 seconds and then turn off. However, if I plu in my phone charger, after a delay of about 8 or 9 seconds my phone will begin charging. I have tried

  • SMC Reset
  • PRAM Reset
  • Additional mouse(s)

I have neglected this issue for a very long time because most of my online activities do not require a mouse, however it is becoming increasingly inconvenient over the years. My System information looks like this--->

Please if anyone can give me a solution to this problem that would be a life saver, as I am currently not in the budget to get my mac repaired anytime soon.


Thanks!
