I have a huge dilemma and I am not sure what I should do. I have an Asus G51J. Its in beautiful condition. But there is one problem, none of the usb ports work. All 4 of the ports won't recognize a single usb device.

I did a little research and I found that there could be a few things that could be wrong with it.

1. I noticed the Base system device was not recognized and there are 2 yellow circles showing they are not working.

2. The bios are old so I was thinking I need to update the bios but I am worried because without usb I can't use a bootable stick drive; so that leaves me with a cd. (If so how do I go about using a cd)

3. The motherboard is just shot which I feel is unlikely because there is not a single thing wrong with the laptop. (besides the usb ports) and I hope this isn't the issue!

What should I do please help! Having no usb ports on a laptop is brutal :(
