Morning,

I've had the device since Dec 2020, most days it'll be plugged into power or a Thunderbolt dock. Recently I've installed a Yubikey into the 2nd Thunderbolt port, however when I touch that for authentication the first connection drops out.

It seems the first port is loose and can be "wiggled" pretty easily which disconnects then reconnects the dock.

Has anyone else seen similiar issues?

I'm out of warranty, anybody know if this is fixable? I assume Apple will charge, although I would expect it to have lasted longer than this. I'm in the UK so perhaps I have some pushback on the UK consumer law being fit for purpose.

cheers,

Greg
