ae troubles

So I've had Ae for several months now and am familiar enough with it to run tests monitor live data graph clear codes etc..

My problem is that when I'm running it for any extended period of time it seems to lose connection to the obd port. It won't alert me via message or sound or anything like that but all my live data meters will just show 0.0. I don't have the best laptop but it works fine initially so I don't really think that's the problem.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Thanks

I'm fairly new to the AE but mine loses connection on me too. It seems like turning the 4X4 switch or the cruise control on will cost me my connection but that's an initial observation, I have not tried it multiple times. At times it won't connect unless I start the truck.

I had this problem with my system at first, I did some swapping with my USB ports and it settled down. It may be a loose USB port.
