To isolate whether the ports are faulty or it is a software issue you can run system diagnostics. Referring to the user guide page 27 explains how to run internal diagnostics. If it a software issue then a reset may solve the problem. This is also explained in the guide. Re-installing the driver is also be a possibility.
