Pull it out and push it back in. Maybe it's just loose. Happens to mine every couple of months because of the design.

I didn't see anywhere that you said you did, so if I missed it, I apologize, but if windows locks up and then it doesn't find it when it was running fine, that's where I'd go.

That was my thought, dropping it caused it to come unseated just enough to barely work. Make sure it's firmly seated and try one last time.
