Non-working USB and card reader ports on my Dell 2405FWP

[RebelliousMind]

None of my USB or card reader slots on my 2405FWP are working. Haven't had any use for them so far so i just basically left them alone but now want to utilize them but can't. I heard something about you needing to connect an upstream USB port cable or something or another. Could someone please explain further and i do believe mine did not come with such a cable. Therefor i would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of where i might be able to find one :) Could Dell send me an extra, you think? :)

Thanks in advance!

There is a USB Type 2 (Type B) plug on the back of the monitor which you need to plug a USB cable in to (which then plugs into a USB port on the motherboard) for the integrated USB/Cardreader to work. The monitor should have come with a type A to type B cable? If you haven't got it, they're not expensive.

Something like this.
