    I just recievned my 1520 and tried to use my targus usb mouse that I bought a little over a year ago and it will not fit in any of the slots? Did they redesign the usb slots or am I just putting it in wrong?

    look closely at the usb slot, did you do any damage? take a look at the usb port on your mouse, does it look bent out of shape?

    I'm assuming you probably already did try flipping the port around. Are you having this problem with all the ports on the laptop or just one?

    Have you tried plugging in another USB peripheral?

    Yes I tried flipping it but I'll see if the mouse's USB seems bent, thanks.

    I just got it in thanks.
