Hey so for the first time today I tried the DVI port on my 15" PB and the port works fine but I can not screw the port into the computer. In other words, I can plug in the port but the little screws on the side of the adapter do not screw in the computer. Is this normal?

Thanks.

Tio Ed.

I have the same problem. Don't know if it's "normal" or not though.

Same here, itīs normal. Just one of those few design flaws of the beautiful Titanium series PBīs (and...itīs more or less a flaw of the adaptor)

No. It's a design flaw of the Ti's port. The adapter has the standard design.

I have the same problem with my Ti and 3rd party DVI cables.
