I'm gonna need a lot of help from you guys. Both of my USB ports on my MacBook Pro are "loose". When I move any USB cable the SLIGHTEST bit, it shows that it disconnects. I don't believe the USB port was pushed in in any way. I think it's been this way for about a few weeks. The reason why it started happening, I don't know for sure. But I think after all the times my laptop has slid off my lap and landed sideways on my bed, it must have bent the USB port out of place or something.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm a complete newbie at hardware so I'll need all the help I can get.
I would like to know how to fix it and maybe a step-by-step guide in explicit detail (e.g. where to solder what if necessary).
And yes, I've taken it to the Apple Store. They said it would cost $280 to fix. Forget that.
I have never soldered before since I don't have a soldering iron myself, but my friend has one and has some experience. And why I keep mentioning soldering is because that is the only thing I read when I was searching throughout the internet to find out how to fix something like this.
Thank you very much to anyone who contributes to helping me solve this problem.
