Worn USB receptacles..
Device removal warning comes up when using portable HD if plug moved at all..
Have used different cables with same results..
Can USB receptacles be repaired or rehabed?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Thank you Mayer for the rapid response, sorry I have been slow in acknowledging your effort.
I had no idea that the two USB ports on this machine are not directly related.
Actually I thought they were both soldered onto the mother or logic board.
I have received another response aimed at fixing the port on the other side of the machine which apparently does have to be soldered.
I really do not know how I have managed to mess up both USB ports but I do carry a trackball mouse and portable HD which I am unpluging and plugging in all the time.
At any rate now I know what has to be done. I was in hopes there would be a way of either bending the tangs up or down for better contact and or using a rotary switch cleaner to etch and lube the ports for better contact.
Rest assured that I will be very careful with the ports until I can effect a repair.
Regards,
Ken
Glad I could help.
