Hi there. It sounds like the bios may have become corrupt knocking them and the WiFi out. Go here to dell support and download the bios (it has to be on the machine that's faulty) make sure the laptop is plugged in to the mains power when you update the bios >>>>>>>>
Hopefully the USB's and the WiFi will come back to life again. Please post back if you need anymore help or advice or if the bios update does not reactivate them.
Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

After an accident with water it was dead for a month then slowly started to work. Now it can work for up to 30 min, then in a sec shuts down making loud noise which is coming from the fan area. One day it worked perfect after I opened it up and cleaned it. Then next day back to "normal". Vista windows are installed.
I need to enter criteria in a query for the yes/no field and have tried alot of ways to no avail....
