Default I used the search, but got nothing...What can be done about a power adapter that pops out?

Not to be outdone by everyone else at TT East, I bought a DC power adapter today to do my ultra secret mod. The problem I'm having is that the plug just pops out of the 12v power outlet because it won't plug in all the way. I remember there was some kinda discussion about this a while back, but I couldn't find anything about it in the search. The adapter is supposedly "universal" but I guess not.

Here's a picture of the offending plug with a red line showing about how far it plugs in.

This might also explain why I always have problems with cell phone chargers...But nothing like this.

Are you referring to the TT-East power adapter?
