"USB Device not Recognized"

External Since: May 19, 2008 Posts: 1

I have the same problem, I have a Lenovo T60p and a Lenovo webcam, it was
working O.K. but suddenly after I installed Vista SP1 it didn't work anymore,
so I uninstalled SP1 but, you know what? Now it didn't works neither, I'm
totally lost, can someone give me some clue to solve this issue? I know I'm
not the only one, but is Microsoft doing something to give a solution?

I noticed this thread because my gf decided to dump some tea and it got
to the laptop but it works fine (googled). I cleaned it out and all and
when I got back on I got the USB Device not Recognized in slot 4, but I
only got 3 slots and I dont have anything in any of them. The only thing
I have currently connected to my laptop would be my charger, I unplugged
that and still there. I did the INFACHE thingy when changing it
completely to me, do I need to also delete or change the name of it once
I give full power to me. I only gave myself full power and once I
rebooted still messed up (no deletion or file name change). Thanks!
