I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this already, but I'm going to ask anyway. When my Nexus is plugged into my computer, the USB is extremely touchy. The slightest poke makes the computer think it was unplugged and just as quickly plugged back in. But! It quick charges and otherwise charges normally on any cable I plug into it, it's just when I have it plugged into the computer that it has issues. And yes, I've used/tried different cables. They all act more or less the same.

I'm 90% sure this means the USB port is on its way out, but I wanted to bounce this off other people before I just went and replaced the port. I know it's a major pain and finding compatible parts is as well. On that note, if someone knows of a reputable place to buy replacement parts for this thing, kindly let me know. Thanks!

Try to find out if there is dust or something in the usb port.
I had it too but with normal charging that the cable would go in not easy, and touching it stopped the charging.

Had to get out the dust and filth with a thin needle. After that all worked ok.
Cable went in smooth again too.
