I just purchased a 13" MBA i5 128 yesterday, and I just noticed an interesting problem with the USB port on the right side. I've tried several different USB devices and none of them will plug all the way into the port. I can only partially insert them and get the message about the USB drawing too much power. The left USB is working perfectly and reading all devices properly. Has anyone had or heard of this problem? Am I destined for a trip to the Genius Bar?
Got a tip for us?

Just got back from the Apple store where they replaced mine because of the USB problem. Two of the pins were not in the correct place inside the port. I came out better this time since I got a Samsung SSD and display so I'm not complaining.
Something weird about my situation...
Restarting the computer fixes the problem. Not sure why though
Also, I've got the Samsung display + SSD two times in a row, and something tells me I won't be that lucky a third time
Have you looked inside the port and compared to the other to see if they look the same?
