[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 376940, member: 24098"] Sockets that use friction to keep the cord in place will wear over time and eventually not hold the connection in a stable manner. The wear is increased significantly if the cord is yanked upon or struck at an opposing angle frequently. Unfortunately the connector is typically soldered directly to the system board, so unless you take it to a shop that has a good tech with soldering skills, the only way to repair it is to change the system board (which is typically very expensive).
