...namely that whenever I plug it in, it goes on, then goes off, and I can't use it. Sometimes I get a little 'your hardware has malfunctioned/not been recognised' box, mostly it just does the 'hardware in' tone, then the 'hardware out' tone. Grr. Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it?
EDIT: I can get it to work by jiggling it around a bit and pulling on the wire, which makes me think that it's something wrong with the wire itself (is it fiber-optic?).
