ma790fx 1 of the front panel USB connectors isn't working

[mike01z]

I tried using the known good cable on the suspected bad port and it doesn't even show power.  I move back to the good connector and it works just fine.

This ever happened to you guys before?  do I have a bad mother board by chance?

Hi,
If you mean  one of the front usb  connections on the PC case, NO
The front usb connections are connected to the motherboard via a header extension cable,
Your local pc dealer can fix this if you are unable to carry out fitting a new one yourself,
This depends on your case of course.
