    At the risk of sounding like my hands are just two lumps of flesh attached to my body that I can't do anything with, I've just had my long-awaited 1720 delivered, and I'm having problems connecting the two sections of the plug (power-brick + mains adapter) together. I just can't seem to get them to co-exist, and I'm worried about forcing them together in case I end up damaging either one permanently.

    Has anyone else had this problem, or is there some method here I'm not getting?

    Edit: For perhaps the first time in my time, a fit of rage actually solved the problem. I did try forcing them together, and inexplicibly, they joined. Feel free to lock/delete this topic.

    That is normal. It's actually hard to plug the two in, force is needed, so I always leave two plugged together all the time.

    My sister is apparently using that same glittery cursive writing "fabulous" avatar as yours.
