X6 Ultrabase with no USB power

[alee]

I'm on my 2nd X6 Ultrabase, and the USB ports on the base do not always power up when I dock in the office. So for instance, two days ago, I left work at 6pm, got back in at 8am yesterday, docked, and no USB power.

Took another X60 in the office, popped it onto the base, and the USB power came back on. Undocked it, and put mine back on. USB ports powered up. Undocked, redocked, USB ports worked fine. Undocked for a meeting, came back 2 hrs later, and docked again, with working USB ports.

Undocked yesterday evening, and went home. Came in this morning, and USB ports would not come on. Undocked, and redocked a few times, and on the 10th time, USB power came on. Has been fine all day today.

Another bad X6 Ultrabase (again)? Or bad X60?
