    Hello, i'm having problems with the usb's on my r2. When i plug something in for EX: my external HDD , it sometimes dosn't read it , i have to wiggle the usb in the port a little bit. With my mouse i loose connection sometimes (Microsoft arc touch) I don't think it's the mouse. Do i need a second motherboard?

    Is your computer still under warranty?

    what happens to me is it gets loose due to use (i know how it sounds if someone has less than clean thought process) just pinch the male end of the plug a bit so it wouldn't jiggle so much inside the female port...

    That was the issue i have with my USBs, also no i didn't mean to make it sound dirty.
