Nexus 7: Loose Micro-USB port!

Mine has no side pins, 2013

I had this same issue. I tried disconnecting the battery, pushing all buttons etc. My fix was to take some pliers (while the back was off) and LIGHTLY, emphasizing lightly- squeeze the metal charging port more together. Mine hasn’t turned on in months because the charger wasn’t getting the necessary juice because it couldn’t. Hope this helps anyone else who has bending their cords.
