I think you have it nailed now. Thanks for reporting back the status.
I recently had a front panel USB connector fall apart. That is a black
plastic
piece came out with the USB plug I inserted. It's defective, nothing I
can do
but replace if I can find a replacment. Otherwise, throw it away and
I'll use
a hub off the back of the computer where I can sit the hub on top.
