TP2 sensitivity to usb cable?

[lovingHDTV]

I got my TP2 yesterday and have been playing with the for a few hours. I've noticed that the usb connection is VERY sensitive. If I touch the TP2 it will loose connection to the computer. I also have to be careful how I have the cord laying on the desk to keep it connected.

I can move the connector ever so slightly up and down and when I do this it will connect/disconnect from the computer. There is no side-to-side movement at all.

Basically there is no way I can hold the TP2 and use it while connected to USB.

Is this normal?

thanks,
