2 weeks ago I received the C64 Maxi and I noticed that the power micro USB is very loose when plugged in the keyboard, it looks slightly bended down as it's going to fell off. I am wondering whether all c64 Maxi has this issue as It does not fit tight? Can someone suggest me what I can do to fix it?

You have 2 choices, 1. get a replacement THEC64 Maxi, if it stops working when you plug the USB cable in or 2. Solder it back on or replace the USB Micro connector on the C64 Main board with a new one and void your warranty.
I have THEVIC20 thats the same as THEC64 Maxi and mine is ok and dose not wobble.

Thank you so much for your suggestions. on YouTube I found the following links for fixing a loose usb and I though of sharing them here:
The following method I have not tried it
The last option would be soldering a new usb port.

3rd choice, power the Maxi via one of the 'big' USB ports. You need an USB A to USB A cable for that.

Or use a USB Hub with Power connector to power it via a USB Port....  I can power my THEVIC20 like that or I use my USB A to A cable that I use for Gadget Mode in PCUAE. |
