        Do both devices use the same cable from the supply, ie. does that cable
have two power supply connections or are you using a y adapter? It is
possible that branch has a bad connection inside the power supply that
disconnects when it gets warm. Best way to check this is to use a different
power connection out of the supply. All of the cables share the same
connection on the circuit board of the power supply, so they would all fail
if the power supply quit. TTYL
