SDS100/SDS200: Possible bent USB port pins in the scanner.

[racing1]

The pin closest to the USB 2 port looks like it it is bent up toward the top of its slot. What do you guys think. I'd recommend looking at this pic on a smartphone so you can zoom in and see it. I have the sds100.

We don't know what scanner you have, and there is no pic with your post.

Be aware:
(I had a bad USB also)

Paul if your reading this - my SDS100 had USB intermittent connection from the beginning.
I think the below is complete crap, but unless you intervene, I guess I have to pay, or have a useless (expensive) radio.

Well I FOUND the problem. The USB cord NOT the scanner,was faulty even though it showed no signs of visual damage. Thanks to everyone for their inputs and suggestions.
