One of my clients has a Sony Vaio desktop computer; he calls me and tells me that no USB ports are working. On the phone I diagnosed it to be a driver issue but once I got to visit my client it turned out to be the motherboard. I uninstalled the USB drivers from device manager and restarted the Sony PC and still no USB ports were working.

I took the PC back to my workshop and run Knoppix a live Linux distro and still no USB. I called my client and told him he needed a new motherboard and cost of repair will be £150 + plus a requested memory upgrade from 256MB to 2GB the total was £230. He decided it was too old to start spending money on it and asked me to make him a new computer.
