I laid off this thread for a couple weeks to get a better assessment of what's going on. Since that time, my mouse has been unplugged and I'm using the laptop's pointing device instead.
I still get disconnects, though not as often. They are far more frequent if I watch video. (It might be my imagination, but they seem to be more frequent the longer I work.)
In every case, all connection to the Lenovo is lost, the display jumps from my monitor to the laptop screen, and within a few seconds everything is restored and my USB drives cycle up as if they had just been plugged in.
Because it frequently happens when I view video, I'm wondering if maybe the setup can't handle data coming at it too quickly. (Was that the reason the mouse became unusable?)
The system has worked perfectly for a couple of years and I have now tested several driver versions with no change in the current problem.
I'm wondering if all that adds up to I'm seeing the beginning of a hardware fail? Does anyone have any experience with this device?
