Unfortunatly,i dont know of any magic cure..someone else might.I just wanted to to say that most often power connections are pretty tight and I have seen the connection pins ripped from a hard drive by the power plug,its now an 80 gig paper weight :) .

Try to wiggle the plug from left to right (not up and down) as you pull.
Also, make sure there isn't a clip that needs pressed or lifted.

liljim...You want a 10 gig for your collection?
