That's interesting and useful info. If that is the case then that to me points to either a software fault or a more upstream hardware fault like the USB controller within the laptop.

As I said though, we've seen it happen to us and it is typically one controller that drops and it is because of a faulty cable. I've been able to repair a handful of the controllers but it is typically more cost effective to recycle it and then buy a new one.
