    One common reason for USB connection issues when using cryptocurrency hardware wallets is a faulty USB cable. If the cable is damaged or not properly connected, it can cause intermittent or no connection between the wallet and the computer. Make sure to use a high-quality USB cable and check for any physical damage or loose connections.

    Another possible reason for USB connection issues is outdated or incompatible drivers. Ensure that you have the latest drivers installed for your hardware wallet and USB ports. You can usually find the necessary drivers on the manufacturer's website. Additionally, check if your operating system is up to date, as outdated software can also cause compatibility issues.
