T61p mouse failures

My mouse fails on all the USB ports, I have narrowed the problem to the ports, do I have to change the system board or is there a "mouse controller" that is separate from the system board?

Will the USB ports on the T61p work with any other device? If yes then replace the mouse. Otherwise replacing the MB would be easiest. I guess technically you can always remove and solder on replacement USB ports. If you don't do a lot of portable computing it might be cheaper to pick up a docking station and us the USB ports on the docking station.

More cheaper way:
find PCMCIa (or ExpressCard) to USB controller and use it.
