Tips for fixing a USB-B socket on a MIDI keyboard?
Post Body
The USB-B socket (the square kind) on my MIDI keyboard has a weak dataline connection (not sure which one). The slightest wobble disconnects it (and often instantly reconnects it) leading to a crashing DAW and other messes. The power pins are fine (I also know it's the socket not the cord).
Any hints on a fix short of replacing the whole socket? Some conducive material to put on the leads to make the link stronger or something? (if a cord was permanently attached I could live with that, but I'm not sure how to get solder in there...)
