I just bought a internal USB cable for my MX222

Got the pin layout and everything ok, that's fine.

But when I put the little prongs onto the USB pings, they don't stay on very well........what's up with that?

Does anyone else have that problem? Or how do I fix it....?

The best way to fix it, is to get a blank USB header and remove the black single headers on the end of the internal USB cable. Slide them into the USB header (obviously in the correct orientation!). You can also add one other usb device to this header as well. It won't budge then!

By header you are meaning one of those black things? That usually plug into the USB ports.........

I tried plugging them into one of those, but they were just as bad as normal pins......just came straight out...

I meant plug not header (my bad) but, yes, that is what i'm talking about.

Sounds like your motherboard usb header is faulty, normally on most new boards there are at least two USB internal headers have you tried it on both? what model of MoBo have you?

I have a new top of the line Gigabyte board.

There is nothing wrong with the board.

It's the little black clip that comes with the internal USB Cable, I tried shoving in the cables in the right order into it, but it doesn't fit snugly on the pins, it's real loose and just comes straight off, I'll have another look later though.

please post an image. There isn't a clip on the usb plug!? unless they have been radically changed?

Here is a pic, see the black end on one end, which plugs into my LCD Module......

And the other end is just connecters......I currently just have the pins on my motherboard.

I did try putting the pins into the extra black section......but afterwards, I tried putting that on my motherboard, and it was just as bad, slipped straight back off.
