The flip mino hd usb won't plug into most of my usb ports (And yes, I know the difference between a firewire and usb). I have tried it on four different computers with a total of 10 usb ports. it worked on 2 of the 10 ports. Problem is, none of the ports are on my computer

My flip mino hd USB also will not plug into my MacBook Pro. I've tried it on 3 different machines and it will only fit into one port, and not at all easy into that port. When I look at the USB connector on the device, there appears to be slight raised plastic ridged on the outside ends of the connector.
Yeah I'm having the same problem. The device's USB won't insert into my computer. I don't want to search for some jerry-rig adapter so I'm probably going to sell this Flip Video thing on ebay. It's hardly worth breaking my macbook pro USB port just to get the thing working.
I had same problem on all 3 I bought for my age 20 something kids. Used female to male usb extension cables(from 3 different sources-- like usb hubs) and it worked well on each. For some reason the extension cables have more tolerance than the laptop usb ports. .
