I was preparing my laptop to install Fedora KDE after being on Fedora Desktop for several years. I prepared the install media, and overnight backed up important files to Google Drive overnight. The next morning I went to start the install, but the bootable USB wasn’t appearing the boot menu. After a few tries didn’t work I went on with my day. When I returned int the evening I realized it wasn’t just the boot menu or this specific USB, all the USB ports on my device are dead. The camera (which I assume is also internally controlled by USB) is also not working (yes the kill switch is currently set to allow the camera.
running journalctlI see that the usb devices are constantly power cycling then throwing a ‘cannot be enumerated’ error.
Charging via USB works, as does charging other devices.
I have tried removing all expansion cards, a wired USB-C keyboard is also not working even when directly connected to the MoBo. I have attempted to do a full power cycle of the mother board by pulling the battery and AC adapter for several minutes (my devices doesn’t not and has never had a CMOS battery despite having the port for one). I am out of ideas and really hope I don’t need to replace the mainboard.
