    I have got my m40 for half a year, it is great and I love it so much.
    Until yesterday I accidently pulled my mouse wire and broken the USB port on the right, it is now lose when I plug something in. It can still detect but undetects it if there is slight movement on the plug. I only have 2 USB ports now :( Do anyone know how to manually fix it. I don't want to send my m40 to the factory or something, coz i need it to play games and my coursework.

    Also is there anyway to fix the light coming out the the edge of the screen, it is a bit annoying looking at it especially in the dark.

    My m40 has 2 broken usb ports on the right side. They work occasionally, but I constantly have to re-plug them to get them to work. Fortunately the left one still works.
