It's an HP dv7 1133cl. All 4 USB ports are sloppy and the plugs fall out easily, don't make constant contact, etc.
I'm soon going to be using an external hard drive with this machine, so I won't be able to afford this sloppy contact. I need at least one, solid USB connection. I've had several laptop computers before, but I don't ever remember having trouble with poor USB connectivity. I suspect it's this model's overall shoddy construction.
What are my options?
Can I replace USB ports? How do I know what to buy so I don't end up with more sloppy ports? Any brands, specifics, etc. I should look for when replacing one (or more) of these ports?
Thanks in advance,
K
