[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1881467, member: 46727"] I've never seen a keyboard or mouse cause a USB port to shut down. Generally neither one draws enough current to cause that to happen. An iPad, especially the larger variety or non powered hubs are usually the devices which will shut down a USB port. Also some external optical drives can cause an overload. Once the ports are overloaded and shut down, there's always a chance that some damage may have occurred. And from that time on, the port becomes fragile until it finally gives out. [/QUOTE]
