I've got an NZXT Source 210 case with a problem with the front USB plugs. Whenever I plug a device in them, the device constantly disconnects. Windows will recognize the device, but it never stays connected long enough to install drivers etc. I've tried connecting the plugs into all 3 usb ports on my mobo but I get the same thing on each port which leads me to believe that maybe the wiring on the front panel is all screwed up. I pulled the front panel off to see if everything is connected and it looks right, nothing's loose. Any idea how to fix this?

I have this problem too when an ipod is plugged into the front ports on my haf 912. It does the same thing but my mouse's wireless reciever or my thumb drives do not have the problem. Idk what it is thats doing it but id like to know as well.

I have the same problem with my NZXT Beta Evo. I think it's just a problem with the wiring in the front panel. On mine it's a little bent into the circuit board in the front panel. It just seems like a common problem, sadly.

I used to have this problem with the rig in my sig, I re-seated the internal motherboard usb cables and the problem was fixed.

I'll have to take a closer look when I get back home this weekend. I wish the prob. was easily fixed by reseating the plugs into the mobo, but this isn't the case. I'll check that the wires are all firmly plugged into the front part and take it from there. Kind of annoying.
