How Do You Track Down USB Ports

]]> A few days ago I discovered what I believe to be a USB port on my computer that’s going out. Nothing seems to work when you plug a device into it, my phone doesn’t even start charging when I plug it in to that port.

The question came to my mind today is how do I know if the USB port is having an actual hardware failure issue, or if it’s just a software driver issue? How can I match one of the USB ports displayed in my Device Manager, with one of the physical USB ports on my computer?

I’ve got two USB ports in the back and two on the side of my laptop. Is there a way to match them some how? Do I need some sort of schematic from Toshiba letting me know what’s connected to what somehow?
