  Hmm I see. This is a problem with the Espruino Original Rev 1.3b, so maybe that doesn't apply in this case?

  I'm not sure where you are suggesting to put the tape, and what you mean by padding it out, can you post a picture?

  I have 2 of the originals, Rev 1.3b. I've been trying to find if this issue has been posted before but I can't find any threads. I'm noticing that I need to have the USB connected at a certain angle, with a little pressure for it to properly connected. Tried with various cables, on both Mac and Linux. If I simply plug the cable in, it almost never connects completed, maybe 1/2 times it when I run dmesg -w I can see the device connect them immediately disconnect, and because it only remains connected when the angle/pressure of the usb port is a specific way, I would assume this is the source of the problem. Additionally, per the troubleshooting instructions, I can see that when I press the reset button, the lights come on, so power supply doesn't seem to be the issue, just the maintained connection.

  I bought these items off someone else, as part of a large package of various items, so it's not a big deal for me. But I'm wondering if this problem is common, and if there's an easy solution. I noticed I could load code in different ways, not just via USB, so I might just try this instead, although having use of the IDE would be ideal. Can I use a couple of the pins instead of the USB and still connect perhaps via a Raspberry Pi or something?

  Cheers!
