My neighbor has two printers plugged into his laptop. Suddenly one printer works intermittently and the other one seems to be fried -- you cannot even turn the power on!

Add to that the fact that his wireless mouse no longer works (the transceiver is a USB device) on his laptop but does work on my computer, and it looks to me like there's a hardware problem in the USB system of his laptop.

What could be bad with a USB port that would fry a printer's power supply??? Partial short maybe? How would one test for that?

Thanks.
