loose power cord disconnects at the slightest touch.

The power cord on my mk3s disconnects at the slightest touch.  The cord doesn't fall out but it cuts off the power briefly. Has anyone else had this problem? What can I do to fix this?

Omega,

You are not the first, the cord requires much more force than you would expect to plug in.  It is disconnecting because the pins are just barely engaging their sockets.  Take a firm grip on the power supply and the cord and push firmly.  There should only be approximately 1/8 inch (3mm) of the "flats" showing once the cord is inserted correctly.

Regards,

Steve
