a potential hardware fix, involving the addition of 1 Ohm resistors in parallel with the corresponding USB fuses on the board..<\/p>\n<p>I went down to the local electronics store, and bought some &#8216;1 Ohm&#8217; resistors, and went ahead and soldered them in place &#8211; a bit of a fiddly job, and not helped by the &#8216;lead-free&#8217; solder not &#8216;wetting&#8217; very well..<\/p>\n<p>After all that, I plugged everything back together, but was then dismayed to see that the problem still persisted:<\/p>\n<p><strong>hub 1-1.3.2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3.2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3.2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3.2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3.2:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -110)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -71)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>usb 1-1.3.2.1: USB disconnect, device number 16<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3:1.0: cannot reset port 2 (err = -71)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3:1.0: cannot reset port 2 (err = -71)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3:1.0: cannot reset port 2 (err = -71)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hub 1-1.3:1.0: cannot reset port 2 (err = -71)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was &#8211;
