    Anyone have the Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler? I have a problem. I have to jiggle the plug that connects to the cooler in a certain direction in order to get it working. I looked inside where the thing plugs in and all I see is a metal prong that seems to be okay. The problem isn't the cord itself because the same problem occurs with a new usb cord. Is there any diy fix?

    I have it! Not good as a Zalman cooler. It cools a bit but for heavy gaming it's a useless cooler.

    nobody knows if there is a diy fix for the problem I have? It would suck to have to get a whole nother one especially since this was supposed to be the quality cooler to replace all the crappy ones I had before.

    I had that cooler and I had the same problem and I just put up with jiggling the cord like you are currently doing. Unfortunately after a while this managed to break off the small metal pin in the cooler's jack so be careful.
