Front USB Ports stopped working

[ajayritik]

For the past few days I observe that the front USB ports are not working properly. Once in a while they do work but it not working everytime. I checked if the back ports have any issues. There seems to be no issue with the USB back ports.

What should I do to fix this? Also when I use a pen drive which has harder grip I don't face the problem. Do I need to replace the panel or check the internal wiring?

Usually happens when the connectors get rusty. Same with my CM690 front panel USB ports. At times they catch, and sometimes they do not.

You need HD audio header to enable front panel audio.Most the budget cabinet comes with AC 97 header.

You have to buy new front side usb header like these......

Have you tried changing BIOS setting to AC 97 from default selected HD option in the CHIPSET section of the motherboard ?
It worked for me.
