SpaceNavigator USB stuck in Connect/Disconnect Loop

[ReTrO]

I've dug out my SpaceNavigator USB after a couple of years packed away and thought I'd hook it up for a bit of CAD work.

When connected to a number of PCs and laptops it gets into a loop of connecting, the blue LEDs blinking and then disconnecting. All with appropriate Windows USB connect/disconnect sounds. The cable and connectors are fine so I can only assume there is a hardware issue with the mainboard.

Any thoughts?#

I'm running Windows 10 on my main laptop at the moment.

seems you have the latest Windows updates,
I have the same problems, only on the updated Windows machines

I couldn't get it to work on any machine so it went into the electronic waste recycling in 2015.
