USB Connection Coming Loose?

[Andrew Mills]

It seems that the micro-usb connection on the capture board may be starting to get a bit loose. It's not as tight a fit as it was before and the software is starting to have trouble at times seeing the picture signal (until I move the cable in said USB port). Experience has taught me that if I keep moving said usb cable in the port; it'll eventually lead to the solder inside breaking and messing the capture device up entirely.

Is it simple enough to re-apply a small amount of solder to the micro-usb connection on the board? Or would it need to be sent back to get checked out and strengthened if need be?

Iirc micro usb was designed that the cable would wear instead of the connection (the retention prongs are on the cable).

Have you tried a different cable?
