    I promise this will be my last question about this, but what makes the power barrel on the left of the FW so vulnerable? mines been creaky and has some degree of movement when forced but it's never broken, then again I've treated this like a desktop replacement.

    Why have the 20 or so peoples forum posts I've read on the web always saying there's just broke clean off? what could they have done to make it literally snap off?

    Mine feels pretty solid, but the "give" accompanied by the flex always bothered me, do they literally just come off for no given reason? do people put them on their side and the weight weakens them? please give some input, thanks.
