PH517-51
upon shutdown i heard a posting sound from speakers which i never heard before i then rebooted and got blue screen. Upon reboot i checked device manager and found "unknown usb device ( device descriptor request failed) "
at the time of shut down and reboot there were no usb devices connected.
All three usb ports are functioning , however im unable to test the usb type c ports as i do not have usb-c devices nor have i ever used the usb-c ports.
things i've tried
uninstall problem device & re-install
run chkdsk /f /r
run HW trouble shooter
turned off fast start
turned off usb power off charging
ensured usb suspend disabled in advanced power options
blew dust out of machine
checked for loose cabling
checked & set bios to default
also attempted to reinstall bios but procedure failed because flash utility acknowledges the the bios is already up to date
c
i've looked for oem usb driver on Product Support - PH517-51 | Acer Australia and there are none listed
currently the device is disabled and in all other respects the machine is functioning normally
is it possible that the usb-c ports have failed on the main board ??
if anyone has any clue im all ears
Thanks
Tom
