But that's odd, because wouldn't that port also be where you'd plug in an external hard drive? Do owners with external hard drives plugged in have this same problem?

I suspect this is what happened to my Legion laptop. It has ports in the back (selling feature for me as I don't like laptops with things sticking out the sides) but it's also between the exhausts. One of the USB ports died.
