The only remedy I could recommend would be to get a new plug end & splice it onto the current cord. Of course, once you put electrical tape on it, the plug won't "roll" all the way back in.

Wish I could help, but bought this as a gift in Christmas 2012 and the person who this was bought for has not indicated to me of any issues.

I had an initial problem with the battery becoming unseated from the contacts; this very thing happened to me. First make sure that it is clicked in completely. Then if there is ANY movement at all use a small piece of folded notecard or paper to force firm seating in the connector.

pull the cord out that you plug into the computer and then try the botton holding it in for the 2 seconds or longer that it says to hold it. The cord might be stopping it from contact. If that doesn't work contact the company you bought it from. I'm sure you have 30 days in which to change it out or send another one

No, but this issue can happen if the plug isn't quite making the right contact with the socket. If giving it a jiggle or taking it out and putting it back in doesn't solve the problem, they might be defective.

the connectors are open on the underside, i used my pocket knife to pry the ends apart then i was able to wiggle the connectors loose by moving them side to side. a flat head screw driver helps as well.

I have had a few problems going in and out I usually twist the cord snd manipulate back. Good luck hope this helps.

Make sure the cable end is seated in the proper position . . if it is not that is one way it will jam

I have the same issue. I use it at work and mine falls off with the touch of a butterfly. The adapter also doesn't power the receiver unless I wiggle it a few times.

I would buy a new cord, obviously connection is not strong and you do not want it cutting off when driving. Good luck.

Losen the nut on the cable clamp. Put the ring on there and replace the nut. That works just fine and it won't fall off.

may I suggest that you just tie the cords together? Grab the plugs (already connected) and with both wires together, gently tie a big knot. THe strain will then be on the cords and not on the plug. Save yourself money and time

The plug will go to a certain point and hit resistance. It should snap on in with a little extra force. If you're sure it's all the way in, replace it.

I have not had any thing that way, but I know that the type of plug used will cause loss of contact and cause power up and downs, and cause some problems. but for the cursor that is another thing I have not used it on a laptop. I would contact them and they will work with you 100%.

Mine still slips. It also quit working altogether. My husband took apart and reconnected the wire and works good again.

YES.....Yes. This is a major problem. I cut two small rectangles from a pill bottle and squeezed them in between the plug and the receptacle holes. Works fine now but it is a design defect.

The back of the unit has a 3 prong plug that goes into the top plug of the outlet. There is a long screw in the center that goes into the screw hole that the outlet cover plate normally goes to. Then, there is a plastic prong that fits into the bottom part of the prong plug to help stabilize it. I'll try to attach a picture to the images at the side of the product on the Amazon site
