Jakoles1985 · 07-11-2007, 12:02 PM

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 and i bent the pins in the front 2 usb ports all to hell and it seemed to have fried my ipod and my flash till i realized it was all messed up. I tried looking for a replacement but have no idea where to start looking to get a new one.

Can anyone help me find a new one, Its the 2 usb ports that are hidden under the cover on the front of the 8200 series computers. I just need to replace that whole circuit board.

Thank you very much

Dell won't sell case parts, so that option is out.

The simplest option is to pick up a powered USB hub, plug it into a port in the back, an there you go

You can also get 3.5" or 5.25" drive bay panels that will have USB and firewire in them, as well as card readers often.

Plug them into the USB headers where the broken ports were.
