Question Keyboard keeps connecting & disconnecting

[dan99t]

Hi,
I have an old Dell workstation T-7500.
I am using " Kensington Pro Fit Wired Comfort Keyboard " which is about one year old plugged into a USB 2.0 port.
Lately it keeps on connecting & disconnecting.
I changed the ports but no relief.
Everything else like mouse & USB sticks work fine.
CMOS battery is one year old.
Boot SSD with Win-7 works fine.
Installed New 6 TB & 10 TB Toshiba Enterprise HDDs about a month ago are working fine.

So what is causing this & solution please.

Thank You.

If all others USB device work fine, and you tried different ports with same results, that sounds like a keyboard issue. Have you tried a different USB keyboard?

Yeah, testing with another (known good) USB keyboard or testing that keyboard on another PC is the basic step before posting such a thread.

Most likely the keyboard's USB plug or the USB cable is damaged.

I have a PS2 Keyboard so will give that a try.
