USB-C Charging Port Receptacle
The 'loose plug' symptom is the primary indicator that the internal pins or the structural housing of the USB-C port have detached from the PCB. Repetitive mechanical stress and torque during gameplay while plugged in cause fatigue in the solder joints, resulting in intermittent or total loss of electrical continuity for power delivery. Replacing this component restores the physical and electrical bridge to the charging circuit.

Valve Steam Deck 45W USB-C Power Supply
A perceived 'loose' connection can occasionally be attributed to the deformation of the metal shielding on the male USB-C connector of the charger rather than the device port. If the internal retention springs of the cable end have failed, the plug will not seat securely enough to maintain the high-current connection required for 15V PD charging. A replacement OEM charger ensures the connector tolerances match the device's intake port.

Steam Deck Mainboard (LCD Version)
If the mechanical failure of the USB-C port was severe enough to tear the copper traces or pads off the PCB, the individual port cannot be resoldered. In these instances of structural board damage, the entire mainboard assembly must be replaced to restore charging functionality and device power. This is the definitive resolution if the sub-component solder points are non-serviceable.
