Are you sure it's the port, not the flash disk?

Either way to change the port will require you to totally dismantle the laptop and solder a new one on. It's a specialist job. My System: Hybr!d

if other USB devices require a 'wiggle' to make them come up, its a hardware problem with the USB plug itself. formating your laptop will do no good, the problem is not with the windows etc, its the physical connection. as dave said, its a specialist job to strip down ur laptop and solder a new plug on, not one tht u should undertake yourself!!! unless you wanna take it to a specialist computer shop, or its still under warrenty, ur best off getting a USB hub if your short of USB plugs, u can pick them up for practially nothing nowdays.

Cauld also be drivers, delete the USB ports in device manager and reboot and let them re-install.

Is it just the one port that doesnt work? If you have more than one [and I'm sure you do] then try those?
