You can find this out for certain by either removing the USB devices and rebooting to see if they start working, or doing a fresh install of Windows. But the likely outcome is they will start to fail again, hopefully that is not the case for you.

At one time HP was repairing these under warranty, but I believe that has expired.
BRUTAL! Haha. That would totally be my luck.

Thanks for the info! Hopefully that's not what it is, since there's no way I could afford to replace the motherboard right now. It's not sounding good, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
