SBIG - sloppy USB

The USB port on my SBIG STF8300 has really become sloppy, so much so to the point that if I slew, half the time it will disconnect from the laptop and then reconnect.

Currently I wedge blue-tak around the USB-B male head (that sounds disgusting!) to stop it wiggling.

Is there a way to tighten up what would seem to be a worn socket? I have tried various USB-B cables to see if I can find a tighter/thicker one, and none make a zot of difference. This is the SECOND STF I have had that does this, and it is bloody annoying.
