I made a wad of tape and made a pointy strong tape point. I went completely around the 4 sides on the port. I did not see anything there buy , sure enough, after i made a sticky tape point, the end did have some tiny metal stuck to ot. I did this 3 times with 3 new tape several layer tape points so make the sticky point strong and not bend and matter was stuck to it. the I made a sticky wad the shape of the pins and gentry pressed the tape into the port and a small tint piece of metal was stuck to the tape!!! Now my connection holds strongly. All the metal shavings and that small metal bit was causing the connection to hold weakly. I will tell you there are many posts i now see on youtube. This unit is being shipped that way.I will state I have never taken this laptop off this one desk and it is in a bedroom with absolutely no metal shavings. Many many people state they also found a small metal bit stuck magnetically to their port after purchase. I was almost about to make a trip to the apple store. Thank goodness I found all the posts about the bits of metal shipped out stuck to the magnetic port!!
