I had a feeling that could have been the problem. It sounded very familiar. Glad to hear that it has been worked out.

Were the entire ports malfunctioning or just the digital inputs? If you ever needed to utilize those ports again and the analog inputs were still functioning (so long as you didn't need all the analogs) you could always remap some of the digital switches to use the analog inputs. It's a relatively painless process and it is a good workaround if necessary. I know I've had to do this a few times: once because of that broken port issue, and the rest just to use additional controls; I'm sure many, many people have dealt with the same thing in the past.
