Integrated USB controller just died

All of my integrated USB ports have just died, I was using it earlier to
sync my PDA. I have since tried other USB devices on this PC and they also
don't work, and the PDA does works on another computer.

It is not a software/OS problem as this computer has a removable HD and I
have booted into another working OS and there is still no USB.

The power on the USB port is still hot and it will light a device plugged
into it.
Windows still sees the USB hardware and if I delete the USB controller
Windows will re-detect and install it.

I have tried toggling all BIOS USB settings (AZZA motherboard).

I will probably end up just getting a PCI USB controller, but before I did I
just wanted to se if anyone had any comments on getting this to work.

Cloud there be a fuse type of thing just on the DATA lines?

Thanks

 

USB data fuse?
