You can do conspiracy theories if you want, but I'm going with a slightly damaged cable connection when you dropped it. Unplug both ends of the USB cable and plug them both in again. Maybe twice. The year in the middle has nothing to do with it.

There was a servicing elf that caught all sorts of abuse and flame by having people unplug USB cables and touch the tips of the connector very slightly to their tongue before replacing them. People wrote learned essays about why this would never work thus missing the point completely. To go through this exercise you have to unplug the cable and plug it back in.

Too many people were just going "yeah, yeah, I replugged the connection," and doing no such thing.

That's right up there with Rory Sutherland's idea of making the last five pills in a course of antibiotics a different colour. Same pills, but the completion success rate goes way up because of the clear goal.

Huh. Well, that was a year ago, I posted this. Whatever happened, it was coincidental to dropping the mic. I don't remember if it was plugged in at the moment. I may want to have someone test that one cable. But can anyone who reviewed the sound file substantiate that hum as a short in the line?
