    Locking USB port?

    I have an arduino here with a picky USB port. I need to push it to the right to sometimes make it complete the connection to my PC.

    How hard would it be to re-solder the USB port with a locking variety and buy a new USB cable?

    Not all USB-ports dimensionwise are same, so it could be tricky to pick right one. I think it's better to start with checking it with another cable. Touching-up port pins with hot soldering iron also might help, just in case of cold solder joints .

    Well, arduino uses generic ports so it should be easy enough. Its not the cable.

    I will try re-flowing the board soon. I DO have a spare arduino so its not a dire situation.
