X1 Carbon 11 gen External Hard Drive Random Disconneciton
Hello everyone, Im having an issue with a brand new X1 Carbon gen 11. When connecting an external Hard Drive or a Thumbdrive to mi right USB A port, during data transfer/deletion, it will randomly disconnect/connect and interrupt the process. The problem does not occur with the left USB A port.
I Installed every available update on Vantage software and Windows 11 while setting up the machine, so I dont know if the problem was there before doing all of this.
I did a hardware Scan with vantage with 100% pass, and also downloaded the advanced scan software. While running the advanced scan on the external Hard Drive the same problem occurs, it desconnects/conncets and interrupts the scan.
I tried a wireless mouse with the dongle in the same USB A and seemed to work fine.
Any ideas what could be causing the problem?
Thanks everyone in advance.

hello and welcome to the forum..
sound to me like a flaky USB A port..
have you tried "wiggling" the USB plug while in the USB socket so as to verify the flaky socket..?
if this is a NEW X1 then it should be under warranty..

Yes I already contacted warranty, but just wanted to check if maybe it was some easy to fix issue. I will try to wiggle the port to see what occurs, thanks for the recomendation.

So just to keep everyone updated on the issue, warranty already sent a technician to my home to swap the motherboard, problem still persists. Apparently a problem across the lineup with the right USB A Port Hardware/Software, since I already found 2 other user posts having somewhat the same or similar issue.

Still waiting warranty to contact me again.

from my experience, the tech's lenovo sends out for on site warranty may not be exactly the best solution..
when i used this service, many years ago, the guy was not very familiar with the thinkpad, though he did replace the display but failed to reassemble the thinkpad correctly..

Seconding this. I'm currently in Day Two of my "next business day" onsite Premier Service, and yesterday's appointment was missed with no show, no call, no follow-up. The tech finally contacted me today and tried to foist me off until Friday. Unsure why we pay for service that Lenovo disregards.BillMorrow wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2023 12:42 pmfrom my experience, the tech's lenovo sends out for on site warranty may not be exactly the best solution..
