Psu power cable won't stay in motherboard

[synstar]

I have an "FM2-A75MA-E35" mobo and a Corsair CX500 power supply. So my 24 pin connector won't stay in the motherboard socket. It slips out so easy. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need to buy an entire new power supply? Sorry if I didn't use the right terminology. Hear are pics of the it.

Is the cable from the power supply clipping onto the motherboard? There's a clip on the cable side that locks it into place, if that's broken try electrical tape to hold it in.

Put it in another way, such as up-side-down.

There is a clip on the side but I can't get it to lock in place. Not because it's broke I just feel if I push it down any harder it will brake.

The clip on the cable has to latch over.

put your finger partially under the mobo for support and make sure its pushed in all the way. also make sure the clip is on the right side

It can take a little bit of pressure to get the clip over,but be careful.

I think I'll try the tape. This isn't going to latch on. It looks like it's almost there, but no matter how much pressure I put on it it just can't reach.

It should latch you want it secure not taped.

I've done all I can It isn't gonna happen. I've tried to take another pic but my iphone can't focus on it. I guess I gotta tape it and order a new power supply. >.< I can't believe this.

Heh... I feel a little stupid now. I didn't feel like I needed one.

im pretty sure you could still return it. if it came out of the factory like that, they pretty much have to replace it

That's a relief. I'll call them and see what they say.
