I recently purchased the little giant 5-apcp and I am not sure if I should pull out the little white straw on top of the plug, and if it is not for that please tell me what to do ?

Just leave it alone. It's part of the sensing operation. Still think it is a great little pump!

Leave the little white straw alone. That is part of the auto on/off mechanism.

I just ordered the strip and should get it Thursday. I will let you know then. I have a feeling it is not a right angle plug though.

I haven't had a problem with mine at all. I would probably do what another person suggested. Unplug it for awhile, and then try it again. Sorry I can't be more help.

I had same problem. I found that moving the plug slightly up, down or left, right, it would start working momentarily. The connector is probably not fastened well to the circuit board. I returned mine and bought a different type. (thanks Amazon). This one works great and sounds better.

Mine came out ok, you must turn it on it's side to put it back. It works wonderfully well, but I needed to put some support under it as it looked like the plug was being stressed.

Maybe its the same plug, it may take a while to charge...My kid has the 4.5 red ezip & it works just fine with this charger.

There are two tabs to push to unplug. If you don't push them you can ruin the connection plug.

It probably would work a little too well . . . it might cause your plugs to back out while in operation!

The plug cover take the place of the regular plug cover. You remove that, and replace it with the kidco outlet cover and screw it in place. Its awesome. :)

There is a hole in the rear of the handle that you can loop the power extension cord through. About 8-12" from the end of the cord, bend it doublel, and push it through the hole. Then press it under the little retention arm. Now when you plug in the sno thro, it won't pull out the plug. There is a really good diagram showing how to do this in the instructions. I hope this helps.

Outlet is too small. Go to a hardware or lab supply and get some of the clear plastic tubing.

I haven't but it sounds like maybe the female connector(part that plugs into your power supply) may be too open(causing a poor contact with the male part(pin) in your power supply. You could try(WITH CORD NOT PLUGGED IN) sticking something like a ice pick and bending the round metal part that makes contact with your power supply to make a smaller tighter circle. Don't make it too small that you can't fit the pin from your power supply in the plug, just a little may work. That or if you haven't had it very long, call saying the one you got is defective. Things like this cord are very cheap and probably not tested as well as they should be, the sparking/arcing is caused by a intermittent poor connection. Probably not a fire risk but it could cause your power supply to fail prematurely.

all three answers below are correct please rephrase your question im not sure why you would want to install a plug "pig tail".

I've had success pulling the power plug, counting to ten, and re-plugging. That it loses functionality seemingly at random and within a few weeks of purchase doesn't say much for the player. Has anyone else noticed how loud it is? That seems impossible to fix, a permanent annoyance.

I had the same issue, it took pushing the connector further in (not much) then depress the center tab, hold it down while pulling the plug loose.

Also, make sure the power cord is properly seated into the adapter. Since the power cord is separate, it may not be pushed in all the way.
