Fred that SUX.  :cry:

If you have just damaged the metal "collar" piece that give it the right shape to connect to a USB port, and haven't damaged the internal plastic piece with the metal connectors, then it should be an easy fix.

I'm not sure where you'd go to get that done, tho...

Computer repair shop perhaps? :P
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

well i tried to de-squish it with pliers and it ALMOST fits back in
i also looked into buying a replacement cord for it but mines too old and they dont make them anymore :\

the inside plastic bit is slightly bent too but not much...
i guess i will try to find a repair place. better not cost alot  :argh!:

Do you have any really fine needle-nosed pliers? I've had a similar thing happen and fixed it with jewelry pliers; needlenose ones are pretty cheap at a hardware store if you don't have any.
