It could be that when you installed the DVD drive, you could have
snagged the cable, or if you have one of the cases that requires you
to remove the front to install a drive, it could have happened then.
Also, I thought of one other thing to test - does the cable also
plug into the front of the case? If so that may be partly disconnected.
You should also check you manual, and see if there are jumpers to
select the power source for the USB ports. It is not unusual for
there to be an option to use 2 different 5v sources - one that is
always on, and one that is only one when the system is awake. This
is to allow things like USB keyboards to wake the system up.
I know things are not supposed to just stop working. But if it were
a software problem, I would it to affect all the USB ports, or show
the same problem regardless of the port you plug into. Usually,
there is one root hub for each pair or each 2 pair of USB ports, so
it is possible to lose some ports without loosing all the USB ports.

Only with the quoting. That always happens when you get a couple
levels of quotes.
