help Toshiba USB drivers

hebrewman · 09-07-2005, 06:36 PM

I have a Toshiba A75-S206 laptop that went into the shop last month and came back with a new motherboard. Unfortunately, someone neglected to include the USB drivers with the machine, and I cannot access anything through any of the three USB ports. The easy answer is to use the original recovery disk that came with the machine, but of course I have misplaced that.

I contacted Toshiba, but they want $45 just to mail the disk, and it turns out that they don't have it in stock anyway and it would be backordered. Some help!

Can anyone tell me where I can get the USB drivers that I need?

Thank you in advance.

Usually you can use the windows USB driver without problems. I have an older Toshiba laptop which originally said "unsupported [brand, forget which] USB open host controller" or something similar. I just did the "update driver" thing and selected the same driver, only without the "unsupported" and it worked

That's probably not your issue, but check in device manager to see just in case.

Thank you for your help. It turned out to be a conflict between the existing drivers on the hard drive, conflicted by the installation of a new motherboard with a different set of drivers. Apparently the techs forgot to check for the problem before they sent it to me "fixed". It has been resolved, thank you.
