Looks like my wife's Kindle Fire has joined the everincreasing club of owners that are having issues with the USB power port. Having to wiggle the plug JUST right until you see that is actually charging... sometimes that works.. sometimes it doesn't. Doing a Google search returns a lot of people having the same issue, but other than tear downs, no one is saying that this is fixable in any other way than replacing the entire motherboard.

Looks like my wife's Kindle Fire has helped us join the ever-increasing club of owners that are having issues with the USB power port. We're having to wiggle the plug ''just right," until we see that it's actually charging. Sometimes that works... sometimes it doesn't. Doing a Google search returns a lot of people having the same issue, but other than teardowns, no one is saying that this is fixable in any other way than replacing the entire motherboard.

Would love for this site to focus on this component to see if it looks like something looks prone to coming loose or likely cause of an intermittent connection.

Any chance someone could take a look and possibly help a WHOLE lot of people with one assessment ?
