Hey! Bit of an issue, hope you can help.
I've been having an issue with my Windows 10 PC telling me a USB port has disconnected intermittently, for about half a year. I always assumed it was some driver issue but I've only just discovered my TP Link bluetooth adapter (tiny thing, plugged into the front USB port, right by my power button), was absolutely scalding hot to the touch upon removing it. The troubling thing is, the USB would disconnect then reconnect itself, so I don't even know if it completely shut itself down to cool off the many times I've had the USB error message. I think the USB port crashed dozens and dozens of times.
I don't so much care about the adapter but I'm concerned that the repeated reheating of it could have damaged the port itself, or the surrounding components. The port looks in tact and it's working okay right now but should I expect the port to fail or anything?
Thanks
