Let us know if it made any difference. Supplementary related issues: Dirty contacts. The innards of USB connectors are rather exposed, so it's easy for muck to get in. A bit of a scrub with clean toothbrush, sometimes with some alcohol on it, or proper contact cleaner, or even just dry, can do wonders with bad connections. And if the contacts aren't plated well, the scraping of plugging and unplugging connectors can wear them down. There's not a great deal that can be done about that. Once the surface gets roughed up there will be pits and bumps that make connector contact unreliable. For simply loose connections, sometimes you can bend the socket's spring tangs back into place with tiny screwdrivers. I find USB B connectors are particularly bad for that. You'd expect them to be more robust, because they look it, but I think they specified the socket hole to be too big for the plug. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.102.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 17 15:42:21 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
