[sdiy] Foil Tape?

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I've seen units where the solder breaks on the
unit's power socket.  I.e., the solder breaks
away from the board from stressing the socket
with the plug in it.  Maybe all it needs is to
freshen the soldering of the the socket to it's
board.  If not, maybe the springy contact is
"lazy" and needs to be helped a little.
