Thanks for the suggestion Andrew.
The friend isn't at this level so if the simple routines don't work I'll
second her thought to take it to the shop to have it checked out.
I did find other forums with people reporting the same 'stops working'
incident and it might just be the power management on the USB. Turning off
that facility appears to be a recommendation.
