I put up with him for about a year, and I got lucky about 1 out of 10 times. For whatever reason, the first few months were fine. It turned out that he merely lacked sufficient power from a single USB input. A Y-shaped USB cable, which has two USB ports on one end for the computer and a Mini USB port on the other, was used to remedy the issue. Whoever has the same issue should just swap out their cable and everything will function properly.
