You might want to try it on another computer before giving it up for lost.
Might even want to try it with *gasp - I can't believe I'm saying this*
windows.
I did manage to fry a USB port on my motherboard one night. It was
dark, I was
plugging a memory stick in the front connector, kind of a awkward reach.
Tried to insert it upside down. Apparently the stick's case shorted the
port's
pins. Soft crack sound. Whiff of burnt electronics. Sigh.
Point is that the USB ports are not fool proof.
