Was mucking around and making some adjustments as to the location of my iMac the other day and was just a mite concerned that to me the pair of USB female connections on my iMac appeared to be loose. Now they do work just fine however was wondering if this type of connector can be "tightened" (for lack of a better term) to hold male connectors inserted more securely?
And do the connectors deteriorate with age? Part of my own problem even after purchasing a proper- all- connectors powered USB hub I still find I have to unplug one connector, usually the printer lead to ensure myCanon 660U flatbed scanner works properly. For some darn reason the flatbed scanner simply does not want to be powered through an outboard, and yes fully powered hub. In retrospect the scanner is used infrequently so have put aside the powered hun in favour of switching plugs. However I still wonder about the connectors. Anybody else?
