Usb Ports Beginning to loosen

[Redeagle13]

The title is about as self-explanatory as it gets. My laptop's USB Ports are beginning to loosen badly but they still are functional. I am curious if there is any way to tighten the USB ports. Thanks

Not much you can do unfortunately. Laptop USB ports are soldered directly on to a daughterboard or the motherboard itself. If you are willing to open up your laptop you can add a spot of hot glue in between the ports and the case to hold it in place, but I can't guarantee that this will work.

Alternatively if they are on a daughterboard you can call your laptop manufacturer and see if you can get a replacement board. It shouldn't be too expensive.
