Chosen Solution

I did remove the cable on my Kinect by pulling it out using some force. Now I want to plug it in again. Has anyone any tips on how to do that properly? Pictures on the rotation of the cable, the process and a few tricks would be very much apreciated. I could also use a picture of how the port is supposed to look when it is not damaged to compare it to. This might be helpful to people in the exact situation as I am- be it because of curiousity or because the cable needs to be swapped out. Update: Just to clarify: Nothing is definitely broken- just need help figuring out how to plug the cable in again without killing the port.

Hello, i had this issue and i solved it at the cost of the rubber inside the kinect port at the back of the kinect i used a flat screw driver to push the rubber which you can see it surrounding the port to the outer side. then, i took it out. after that, i plugged the cable and it was easier without rubber and i managed to successfully connect it by doing this only. don’t worry, you can put the rubber back if you wanted in the future. i hope this would help Thanks and Regards
