the two usb ports in the front of my computer dont work, but the ones in the back do. its very inconvienent having to plug everything into the back. can i like open the computer up and hook it up or somthing?

Well you could BUT I suggest look to see if the front usb ports are plugged into the motherboard. If they are not plugged in then plug them into the motherboard.

Hi. In addition to Ultra_Man's response, what type of computer do you have? Is is custom built?

Open the side panel of the PC and look for one or two wires (usually two) that lead to the front USB posts. Trace them back and be sure they are connected to the motherboard. If they are, try connecting a different USB devide to those frontal ports. If they are not, post a response and we'll get the instructions to connecting them.

If you need more help, in connecting the front USB ports, what is the make and model of your PC?

your problem could be with the ports themselves( too much wear n tear). could be as simple as replacing them with new ones if thats the problem.
