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 are working fine.

So what is causing this & solution please.

Thank You.

Check and see if your prebuilt has any BIOS updates pending. Following that, manually reinstall your chipset drivers in an elevated command.

CMOS battery is one year old.
Do you need to reset the time in BIOS after every cold boot?

Everything else like mouse & USB sticks work fine.
Does the keyboard in question behave the same way on another (donor)platform?

No.

Don't have access to another PC.
