Can't provide personalized help without knowing the specifics of your hardware and OS. Assuming you're running windows, the most rudimentary, across the board fix for non-working USB ports is to go to device manager, right click your USB controller(s), select uninstall, and reboot. Once you reload Windows, your controller(s) and drivers will automatically be recognized and re-installed. If you continue to have problems after that, you're going to need to provide a bit more detail on your setup and any error messages that are appearing in device manager.
