What if error code 28 persists even after multiple driver installations and reboots?

If error code 28 persists after attempts to update or reinstall drivers and multiple reboots, consider checking the hardware itself. Ensure the device is properly connected (e.g., firmly seated in its slot, cables are secure). If possible, try connecting the device to a different port or slot to rule out a port issue. In some cases, the hardware component itself might be faulty and require repair or replacement.
