crushed usb plug, help!!

I stepped on the usb plug of my logitech elite cordless duo while it was in its socket. Now it wont be pushed back into a USB port. Can this thing be repaired/ replaced? Is it possible to cut the wires and join a new plus to it? Thnx.

TT smart case fan 2 - ok to hookup to MB ???

Actually, I had it on the mobo for a couple of days and running at full speed. Looks like it doesn't necessarily blow the fan socket - at least not in the short run.

ok/possible to change PSU fan?

I have a generic power supply anf the fan seems to be in its last stages. Its getting quite noisy too. If its a bearing type maybe the bearings are wearing out or if its the sleeve type maybe its life is just up. Is it allright to change it? How does one go about doing it?

The SCF 2 actually came with an adpater for this purpose. I had thought it was just a usual 3pin to 4 pin adapter, with no rpm connector to mobo. me wrong. Thanks for the help.

CPU fan rpm doesnt show up

I did have it connected to the mobo. Maybe it was a faulty header though. I changed it to another one and now its working. Thanks.
