Wacom Bamboo Tablet Help

[T3XT]

Okay, this thing is pretty new, considering I bought it fresh just a couple months ago from Fry's. Worked fine for a while. But now it has this weird glitch; whenever I move the tablet's USB cord the slightest while drawing, the tablet disconnects for about a second or two, then reconnects to the computer again (mind you the USB is still firm in the socket this whole time, a slight wiggle shouldn't throw it off). This, as you can imagine, really pisses me off.

Help please?

P.S. If you could, please don't immediately recommend I use their customer service. I want to see if there's an easy solution here before getting their help.

Okay, I know this isn't the most fun thread to reply to but I'd appreciate any feedback, people.

Buy the nice super expensive ones or don't expect top-notch quality.

My first considerably crappy one was $200. Eighty dollars is probably the cheapest tablet I've EVER heard of.
If you pay $80 for a tablet, you're going to get 80 dollars worth of tablet; you are going to be stuck with a worthless piece of plastic.

Try different USB ports? Your computer might be the problem. I have the same Wacom Bamboo tablet you have, and I have 0 problems with it. Nein, nada.

Other than that, make sure you disable "Hold to right click" in the Tablet options.

Prices have gone down. Wacom Bamboo is a very good purchase. Stop trying to be snub when you're really poor slob.

A) I'm just trying to point out the obvious: you get your moneys worth
B) I'm not a poor slob. Better yet, I OWN the cintiq I linked him to.

I never said I was rich, but I'm not a poor slop. Would you like me to photograph my house, or shove a gold bar up my ass? The first one I can actually show you.

fair enough.

OT, the cintiq is not a waste of money at all... if anything it's the best purchase you can make if you want a good tablet. And if, as you say, 2500 for a piece of junk can still be gained by a 'poor slob' then you should definitely got one; I've never had a single issue with it.
It's really an entirely different experience from having a separate appliance for a tablet. Drawing on the screen and being able to swivel it feels amazing and improves your ability to draw innumerably.

Expensive? Poor snobs can afford it by your logic!

and believe me when I say, it's worthevery penny.

It's a hardware problem, none of us can fix it, try cutting it open and fixing the wires manually, I take it you won't accidentally cut the wires when opening it up.
