Hi,

I have a Dell Latitude CSx laptop, approx 6 years old (no longer under 
any warranty).  When I plug into the USB port, the port moves and the 
connection is gone.  If I prop something  under the cable going into the 
port, it is okay, but that is not how I want to work things.  My 
question is this: Is it possible for me to open the laptop and repair 
the loose USB port, what should I look for and do or should I take it 
somewhere to have it repaired.  I have worked on desktop towers, so the 
inside workings don't scare me, just not sure if I should attempt this 
on my own.
I am running Windows 98, the USB (listed under device manager) is Intel 
83271AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Susan Llewellyn
