But with this solution a little bit more is going on behind the scenes. I don't know why it works, but it solved my problem and was confirmed to solve someone else's who was having similar problems. It appears on Apple's site, as well as a less helpful suggestion.
I assume this is the magic step. A capicator must be discharging
at this point, forgeting what devices were attached and what their
configuration was. I suspect when the OS comes back up, it will be
forced to poll for devices and reinitialize them.
All I can say is that rebooting doesn't work. Shutting down doesn't
working. Power cycling the device doesn't work. You must physically
disconnect power from the CPU, have no devices plugged in, and wait
for it to discharge. Weird, I know.
Strangely enough, doing this procedure once solved my problems for good. Prior to that, I had been having problems for several months.
If this procedure worked for you, please drop me a line -- I'd love
to get confirmation this wasn't an illusion.
