Can "sloppy" usb2 ports be replaced?
The two usb2 ports in the side of my MacBook Pro 15" have become "sloppy" and do not always read devices (flash drives and some other accessories). Its becoming more annoying!
A simple solution seems to be to replace the internals of the sockets... Can they be replaced? If so, how?
Thanks!
Is this a good question?

I solved the sloppy USB socket problem by running one line of cello tape around the outside of the metal part of the USB plug then I trimmed off the excess tape with a Stanley knife. The thickness of the cello tape takes up the excessive slop in the USB socket and the cord works just fine.
