Yes, I was thinking that also and is one of the obvious options.  I 
didn't mention in my post while I was looking for a connection issue if 
I didn't find it what else to look for.

I did mention to Ky I would probably do a work-around of plugging in a 
LED into a USB port -- easier to do that than take the computer apart!
