In my case an old microsoft balless usb mouse did
just the same thing.  Would work for 15 seconds to
4 or 5 days and then not work*.  Replugging would
usually make it come back.  Throwing it away worked
best.  Never had any other usb problems on that
machine.


*Never gave any error messages either, just went dark.
