    Has anyone noticed that their USB ports leave numerous line scratches on the tips of connectors? I'm not sure if it's a big problem or not but it does that to my USB accessories.

    It doesn't sound like a big problem, no---but when you are taking it out and putting it in, make sure your putting it in straight, if pushed in on aslant up or down, the plug could be scraping against the port. Or it could just be the computers normal usb port. Either way, no big deal. - Hope I could help
