Continuing problem with malfunctioning USB 3 port

I am still struggling to solve the problem with the malfunctioning USB 3
port on a desktop running Debian.

I would be very grateful if someone could please give useful answers to the
following questions :-

(1) Can the desktop be safely rebooted, if needed, given the USB 3 problem?

(2) Can the USB 3 problem be fixed in some way or is the port now
permanently unavailable?

(3) If the USB 3 port is unavailable, can the new portable hard drive be
used to do a back-up of the system from the USB 2 port currently occupied
by a card reader or is there any risk the card reader will be messed up
again afterwards ?

     (On a previous occasion, a portable hard drive was plugged into this
USB 2 port in place of the card reader. The system issued a message
indicating the port was busy. The card reader was plugged back into the USB
2 port and it was then found that a card inserted into the card reader
could not be mounted).
