I have a Toshiba M45-S265. All of a sudden none of the USB ports are working, nor is the touchpad. When computer is cold and you start it, it works for a few minutes and then the cursor freezes up. Had it with a tech, who didn't instill a great amount of confidene. His best guess (after conferring with someone he sends out laptops to) was that possibly a hairline crack in the motherboard and pretty much felt at that point too expensive to bother with. I don't have a serial port on here. If so I could do a serial to usb convertor and hook up usb or external mouse that way. Hate to ditch whole computer, plus not ready to go to Vista yet. Would appreciate any suggestions.
