interfaces input errors in 3560 switches

Hello 

recently I had to engage my old 3560 switches in my network awaiting for new switches to be received for the new building.

suddenly I started to receive many complains on about all my 3560 switches 7 switches WS-C3560-24PS connected clients.

when i checked interfaces I found many interfaces input errors.

I have reset interfaces to default and then reconfigured it after clearing error counter and after few days it started again to count input errors.

ports connected to "ip phone + PC data" or pc data only port.

most of these switches are connected through up-links lacp ether-channel to 2960x gig ports as up-links.

hard to think all switches have problems, but easier to think about the passive connectivity.

I want to know why I receive these input errors, is it switch port asic problems or passive connectivity side problem? how

Switch port config sample 

description PC & IPphone
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
switchport voice vlan 5

mls qos trust device cisco-phone
mls qos trust cos
spanning-tree portfast

Output is not helpful.
Post the complete output to the command "sh interface <PORT> controll" in a text file.

Show added, check up

In 6 days there were "28" input errors? I'm not worried about that.
Total Output Drops, however, is more of a concern.

Ok good, knowing that I have already cleared the counter to follow up with the ports.

anyway, what is the count number that I concern, and why that ?

Thank you.
