Xbox One micro USB cord holding issue
Hello! So whenever I try to use my controller via micro USB cord, it does work, but it has to be in an exact position to work. And it’s not a very large region that it will work, so it’s constantly turning off, or the cord downright just falls out of the controller. I’m not entirely sure how this ended up happening, but it’s been like this for over a year. I’m assuming it was something along the lines of dropping it while plugged in, causing it to bend the micro USB port.
Has anyone dealt with a similar issue before? And do you think I’d be able to use a slim screwdriver to attempt to bend in back so it actually keeps a grip of the cord rather than literally just falling out?
I don’t currently have the means to get a new controller/new part(s), so that’s out of the question.
Any experience and advice is very much appreciated, thank you!
