Select "Troubleshooting"
Type in or copy/paste your PC - Compaq Presario CQ61 (Look for the US version)
Then type in your problem at - "Key Word or Questions" Caps Lock Light Blinks


Follow instructions from HP Site that basically say shut it down, remove a/c, remove battery, press power button for 30 seconds. disconnect all usb and other connected devices. then insert battery and turn on.
Hope this helps'

This is one of about 4 thhings that can cause this problem.
The bios could be glitching out on you.
One of your usb ports has cracked or broken solder causing an arcing condition(most likely cause).
Usb driver corruption.
First try the BIOS fix, see if that works.
Unplug the laptop, and take out battery.
With no power to pc, hold power buttom in for approxamitely 30 seconds.
Release power button, replace battery, and plug laptop back in.
Try to reboot and see if it now works properly.
If not, then unless you are willing to take the laptop apart, then you will need to take it to an authorized HP/Compaq service center and have them re-solder your usb jacks in place.

Like I said, this is the most likely problem, as usb jacks, like power jacks, are notorious for breaking solder connections due to the movement of the socket with whatever is being plugged into it.
For ubd drivers, insert your system resource disk, and re-install your usb drivers.
If you don't have a disk, you can go to the HP/Compaq website and manually fdownload the drivers as well.

First try these steps
1.Remove all the usb devices connected, then go to device manager and under Universal Serial Bus controlers uninstall all the usb root hub and then restart the computer
2. If it still doesnt work do a bios update from hp.com for your notebook and then restart and do a bios default too.
3. If these steps doesnt resolve the problem do a recovery and even after recovery the NBs usb ports doesnt work then mother board needs to be replaced as the usb ports are fixed in it.

Hi there!

Have you tried checking your BIOS? Pls make sure that the on board USB setting are enabled...this should fall under the integrated peripherals...

Hope it helps!

try check your usb port drivers if it is updated

I was looking for for the past week.

Remove bios battery and erase new bios (usually a pair of pins to short). If USBs now work - don't upgrade bios! If bios settings have no setting for diabling USB, motherboard failrure seems likely. Try a PCI USB card to provide sockets.

Reinstall your USB drivers:
Navigate to Device manager, find a branch named "USB Controllers" or similar
Right click the one thats the problem (or all of them if you dont know which), select Uninstall
Reboot your machine and windows will autodetect the USBs and reinstall their drivers.
