Keyboard Stops Working After Plugging in USB Device

I noticed that when I plug in some power-hungry USB devices—like an external hard drive or an RTL-SDR dongle—into the left USB port, the DevTerm’s keyboard and mouse stop working. Rebooting doesn’t help at all. I couldn’t find a solid fix in the community, and I used to open up the whole device and reseat the keyboard just to get it working again.

But today I found an easier trick: just take out the battery, put it back in, and power on. That brought the keyboard back to life.

By the way, has anyone figured out a real fix for the keyboard freezing when plugging in USB devices?

I know it’s an uConsole thread, but internally uConsole and devterm are the same
