Oh, I just thought of something. I was wondering if I had done anything
especially different recently (other than moving files around, etc.), and it
occurs to me, yes.
I have an external Logitech keyboard and mouse, with one of those tiny
receiver dongles that I plug into any unpowered Belkin USB 4-port hub.
Otherwise I just use it for flash drives.
However ... I was doing some experiments with my smartphone, and discovered
that I can use my external keyboard and mouse with my phone, which is useful
for sending texts, because I refuse to use autocorrect crap.
Now, I wonder, could my switching the keyboard from my laptop to my phone,
then back to the laptop, have caused something weird to happen?

Didn't think of that, but I wonder how it could have been disabled in the
bios if the system was running the whole time. When I woke up after a
couple hours, the SSD was blinking, which I thought meant something was
reading the drive, or something was being written, deleted, added ... but
it would seem that it was just unmounted when the USB port stopped working.
Whenever I reboot, I'll go into the bios and look. I doubt it's possible,
if I never went into the bios myself, but maybe I don't know everything.
Bill When I restarted, everything worked fine, my SSD
doesn't appear to be
damaged; but the third USB port is not working now.
You did check in the bios to see if it was (somehow) disabled?
