    Wow um...wth?

    The first thing I noticed was wow, the material is actually cool. I wasn't suspecting that...only the fans to cool my dv5t!

    Then I looked further...and wth? I can't find a usb port connector...I can't find any method of powering it. There is no usb connector, no power cable, nothing...It didn't even come with instructions. The back compartment has nothing in it. Is there some super hidden compartment I'm missing or did they just screw me over?

    Am I supposed to buy a usb connector separately?

    *edit*
    Oh and the other thing was the box was damaged upon arrival, not that it matters if I can't even use it.

    The cooler has usb ports, but no power cord or whatever you call it to connect the usb port of the cooler to the usb port of my notebook.

    I bought it from newegg.com.

    It should have came with a USB cable, if not, call newegg. Alternatively you can buy your own USb cable to connect it from the notebook to the cooler.

    yup, its supposed to come with a USB cable.

    and you can use either the left USB or the right USB port on the cooler to power it.

    I emailed them. Is it only supposed to come with a usb cable that connects from the cooler to the nobook, or something that connects to the wall from the cooler too?

    Not sure, but the manual states that anything we plug into the extra USB port on the cooler should not require more than 1.3V or something like that.

    I was going to buy a second Cooler Master Notepal Infinite but am thinking, instead, of buying the Zalman for my HP DV5t or Toshiba P305D.

    There are many threads about this including my review. For all threads/reviews and if it will work well with your notebook visit the notebook cooler buyers guide (the link is in my signature)
