How difficult would it be to replace the USB cable if it broke?

I opened it once with ease to put in a sanwa stick, it should be easy to replace the usb cable.

I am not experienced with doing so because it comes with it. So I would have to strip the wire and add a new one. Which wouldn't look as nice. In all, pretty hard to replace.

as long as its in working condition. The one I got the USB plug was smashed.

No, there doesn't appear to be a way to open it. However, at that point you could probably just power it through the USB cable.

Sally, before I would invest in a new battery, I would get a new USB cord. After purchasing the new battery and having to pay to have it installed because I could not get the battery compartment open, I found out that the "prongs" in the cable connection can become bent and thus not make a good connection.

It comes with a *non-standard* USB-like cord that you won't be able to replace with an actual normal USB one if it gets broken.

Contact the seller AHERO-RC through Amazon and they can provide a replacement USB charging cable.

Dear Tiffany, This was my leap of faith. I couldn't find a technical replacement for the cord from any specialty shop. It is a custom cord with a USB end on it. I looked at the back of my drive The port looked like a little house with a white square in the center of it. The cord was inexpensive here. I bought it and the whole thing was a success. Korky

Yes, but not for long. Mine is now scrapped because of the failed USB port and I tried everything to fix it...

That's one of the big flaws in that drive -- after a while the USB connector in the unit itself starts to fail. for the short term, you may be able to jiggle the cord to get some connection, but in the long run it is going to become unusable.

Is the usb pluged in or at least to a wall outlet? If it is the belt broke.

Power cable broke from the USB end. Bought a replacement from Amazon... works fine. USB to 3.5mm power cable... real cheap. Now have same problem as others with the socket end where it plugs in... just came from my garage, two pairs of needle nose pliers and bent the male 3.5mm end a little. Had to force it into the socket but it now stays in and I don't have to wiggle it anymore. Antec did not reply to my emails but after I'd already purchased the replacement, they sent a free pass-thru like the original. (That's the one I bent so I still have my Amazon purchased one as a spare). Love the cooler. Using with a new 17.4" Toshiba. Running Core Temp gadget w/Windows 7 so I can keep an eye on it.

As far as I can tell there is no replacing of the cable unless you can ship it to Mad Catz.

Pull it apart, solder, put it together (check for breaks in 3.5mm cord...replace accordingly)

You don't necessarily need a new cable entirely. I run mine through a USB extender, which works great.
