Default Power outlet is loose

The power outlet on my EJ8 is loose, I'll plug charger into it and it will light for a second but you have to hold it at a certain angle even then it flash on for bout half a second then turn off; plus i can rotate the power outlet, i feel that I shouldn't be able to do that... Any help?

pull off the plastic housinng and look to see how its mounted..

My plugs I use does the same thing. I have to keep an eye on it to see if the light comes on.. But only the cheap chargers. I bought a HTC 12v charger and it fit just fine and never had a problem. These cheap USB chargers you get @ 7-11 are narrower and like to move around as they use the neg springs to hold them in place.

As far as the socket moving around, like i said, take off the plastic and see how its mounted and come up with a fix for it.
