K7N2 Delta ISLR, front panel USB's not working?

Hi, has any one got a clue about this? I have it installed in a Thermaltake
Xaser III case, but when I plug something into the front (or top on this
case) USB ports, it is not recognised.
Is there something I am missing? I can't seen anything in the bios for it,
and everything seems OK in the device manager. What should I be looking for?

Thanks for any help

Alan

 

I'm pretty sure you got the USB wired wrong. The only time the plug is
active is when something is plugged in that's why everything is OK until you
try to use it. Check you board wiring schematic and move the front port
plug wires around to match it.

Ok, I will try that, I thought I had followed it to the letter, but I cn
make mistakes so I will check.
Thank you

Alan

 

I have a similar problem, when I plug in my USB 2.0 memory stick it is not
recognised. If I plug in my MP3 player (USB 1.1) it's recognised straight
away.
Is it the socket in the case that's at fault? I thought USB 1 + 2 ports were
the same.

Have you installed the latest via driver and the USB 2.0 support drivers?

Check to see if USB mass storage devices are present in the device manager
and active.

Does the device work in the back side USB ports. Both 1.1 and 2.0. If it
does you did not wire the front port properly.

are you using xp ? if so have you installed service pack 1 ? usb 2 wont work
without sp1

 

Yus, SP1 installed, works fine in rear port. Says USB 2 device has been
installed.

My usb 1.1 works in the front ports, only my usb 2 memory stick is listed as
unrecognised.

Wired up as...

+v
-data
+data
ground

Must be a difference in the case ports vs. motherboard ports.

Ok, I have checked and with the USB connectors for the Thermaltake case you
have two sockets of 5pins in a row each, all the wires go to the correct
pins, but the Thermal take connectors have 2 ground wires on each connector,
one goes directly to the ground pins, the other on the 1st connector goes
over the missing key pin, so no problem there, but theother ground on the
2nd connector goes to the USBOC pin on the motherboard, what is this short
for? Is this the problem?
Thanks for anymore help

The 2- Top USB connectors are defective- not compatable with USB-2.0
Will only work with USB-1.1 devices.
I have 3-other people with the same problem with this case.

I have a LianLi case with two front USB ports. When I tried to plug in the
cases wires to the USB2.0 header on this mother board, it wouldn't work and
messed up the other ports.

I had to not connect one the two ground wires. The lighter colored black
wire from the case I didn't use. Now all the USB ports work just fine.

Previously I had a Giga-byte K7VXP board. When I plugged the cases wires for
the front USB into the header on the mother board, it worked fine. But, the
two boards have a different wiring setup as I explained above.

I sent a email to Thermalake, They told it I should to install Xp
upgrad sp-1 I already have that. It sounds like a hardware problem.
since other people hare having the same problem

I have now solved it, because it wouldn't recognise USB 1.1, by cutting the
looped ground wire on the Thermaltake plugs, this answer has been written in
couple of forums I found, it works for 1.1 I don't have a 2.0 device yet so
I don't know about compatibility issues with that yet.
