I see. Same type problem is also seen in so many power connectors to laptops. Eventually the PC solder joint, connector, or plug fails.

I was rather surprised to learn how much engineering goes into the design of connectors since that is most often the point of failure including the wire and how the solder holds that connect to the PC board. Those intermittents can be difficult to find.
