So I've got a peculiar problem with one of the USB ports on my first gen (Late 2008 uMBP).
It's the second port, the one further away from the MagSafe. When I plug my iPhone and iPad into it, it will charge. But iTunes (nor Image Capture) will detect either device. It will power my external hard drive (USB powered), but it won't detect it. It won't detect my external kb/m either.
I know there's power going to it as it's charging devices, but no data or anything is being transferred.
If it is of any help, my battery is also swelling. Not ridiculous amounts, but to the point where the battery cover is no longer flush. (83% health with 126 cycles at 30 months)
