hello
I have a acer V nitro black running window 10
it has 4 usb ..2 on each side .
one side is 2.0 and the other 3.0
the 2.0 doesn't work at all , not even electricity comes from the usb ports but the 3.0 works perfectly .
I suspect a hardware issue ..what do you think ?
NAM
seems like a hardware thing to me too .. could be as easy as the heating melted the usb-mobo connection or might be an electrical issue with the board.

I will try to resolder the usb connectors and try...what do you think

i was skimming through some youtube video when i saw that the dead usb are connected by a ribbon cable to the motherboard .. opened the laptop ( which is a pain in the ass ) and behold ..the cable ribbon dock was opened ... closed it tight .. tested and it worked like a charm ...
tested with the Sandisk extreme ( fastest 3.0 flash disk ) and received a speed of 32 MBps compared to the 200 MBps when using usb 3.0 ports .
NAM
congrats :)

opening the laptop is different than the old : remove bottom , show everything concept that we have .
nowadays most laptops are like this : unscrew bottom , remove keyboard and upper cover , etc .. ( maybe having an unremovable bottom makes production easier or something .)
I'm thinking now about adding Ram to the current 8 GB .
