My syntax is terse. 
        Subject: Re: *Debugging* advice?
Means I don't need to be told how-to-buy-a-new-one. That's easy.
I want the *knowledge* which the bebugging exercise may provide.
It's interesting [to me] that sometimes the loss of keybrd+mouse
happens a few seconds after I plug the <USB WiFi>.
Which suggests: not a simple hardware error, without some
software <timingloop>.

Since the RPi is next to it and connectable via eth0 [another
absurdity by the 'industry' pretending I need FBI security beween
the 2] perhaps Rpi could look what's happening with the X86?
But I'd need a plan before I tried that.
Especially since this absurd ssh is complaining, and I read there's
a new security protocol with ssh-N?

Why is it more reliable with a short USB-cable to the <WiFi-phone> ?
