If a thumb drive does not work, the USB ports are inoperative.
Not necessarily.
This is why I consider this the easiest test.
I've also seen where the guy down the street put the power lead on
the wrong connector & it blew out a thumb drive but not where one
could see any damage but the drive was no longer usable in any USB
port on any machine. So if I were to plug in the blown thumb drive
into a USB port I surely couldn't rely on that as being a valid test
of the USB port now could I ?
If one is to use a thumb drive as a diagnostic tool make sure it's a
small cheap one.
