Do you mean a USB port thats actually soldiered onto the mobo or just a USB cable which is connected to a few USB ports.

The USB port is not at the back of the com but at the front. The cables with pins which then link them to the motherboard and i plucked them out. But now i do not know how to fix them back.

Hard to know with out knowing the maker of the motherboard. I bought a motherboard like that one time and the manual did not give the pin configuration. I did a search on Google and typed in "USB pin configuration" I found mine on there. You will probably have the same luck. BTW Good Luck.

Make sure you have "Images On" in "My Computing.net" so you can see this diagram.

Ryan,
have you gone into "My Computing.net" and turned "Images On"? If not you won't see the diagram.
