Fed up with clients being rough on connectors and cables

[japlytic]

With a client of ours, it was the fifth time that I had noticed damage to connectors occured since someone was literally forcing a plug into its connector - they have still not learned their lesson yet despite being told that.

This time, it was a front panel USB connector where a barcode scanner was being forced in, which then bent the USB port pins causing the BIOS to shut down the computer after 15 seconds since it detected a short on the 5V line on the USB connector which was damaged.

Other jobs from this particular client included a POS keyboard with a damaged plug since again, it was being forced in along with the same keyboard cable plug being broken off since they were literally yanking the cable out.

I agree, I see it all the time the most common is that people seem to think that hdmi cables especially the cheap ones can be bent 90d........ well they can always ends up with the whole metal bit stuck inside of the tv causing issues :L
