I am having a problem with my USB ports. It shows over-current conditions on ports 7 and 8. I have heard that this is caused by a damaged USB port, and since it is detecting it on two ports it seems that I have two that are broken. I do indeed have two that do not work, so that is not the issue.
What I would like to do is disable whatever program is running over-current condition checks. tty's are unusable at this point. Every few second a new over-current condition occurs.
Here is the output of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/CuFKRGue
Is there an easy way to disable these checks or damage the ports to a point where it will no longer check? Fixing them is not important or an option.
