I’ve got a laptop with 2 USB Ports, but one only works at a certain angle. Works fine when pressure is constantly applied, no rotation. Works when tilted down (from upper view). Works when USB is between plugged in & unplugged. Sometimes my mouse lights up, but it doesn’t work.
Is this a good question?

I have one that is intermittent also. I think it is the contacts inside the socket. They are a spring hump design. If you are careful, you may be able to lift them using a fine tweezer. They won’t need to come up much. Get the tweezer point just under the hump and lift it slightly. Do all 4.

Be sure to first disconnect the charger and the battery!
