Hi, forum
I have a 15" MBP:
The issue is simple: every time I connect anything (ranging from external hard drives to receivers for wireless peripheral) into either of the USB ports on the laptop, the laptop stops responding for a few seconds. The laptop keeps running (videos don't pause or stutter, webpages keep rendering, et al), but the mouse and keyboard stop working entirely. After a few seconds, the cursor jumps back into action.
It's really not that bad, considering how infrequently I use USB devices, but I would like to figure it out and rid myself of this minor inconvenience.
tl;dr: every time I connect something into a USB port, the mouse and keyboard stop working for a few seconds.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Raptor
P.S.: All hardware repairs have been performed by me, since I purchased the laptop from another company. The only true modification is the Optibay.
