It is rarely the port that fails, but rather the connections from the port to the motherboard or the chipset itself.

Like what i said, it could not be the port itself but the connections and the chipset. You got try updating your drivers such as your USB controller and even your mobo chipset itself?

I suggest u to get a 4 usb port hub, cheaper than trying to replace all your existing ones. Furthermore, who knows after the replacement, new problem comes in.

Agreed with this. Don't open it up if you don't know what you are doing.
