As someone who has worked in an IT repair facility, this image hurts my soul.
When I was in IT, had someone who couldn't get their USB printer to be detected by their laptop. They turned everything on/off and it never would show up. Even I was a little confused, so I unplugged it from the laptop, and then went to go plug it back in, but couldn't feel the port. I go to take a look, and find there's no USB ports on that entire side of the laptop. somehow they plugged the USB cable into the Ethernet port.
Well ok, i sometimes fit a thumbdrive in my notebooks HDMI port, because it's just beside it. Both ports and the thumbdrive still work (not in the HDMI port tho).
'Just look for the port that fits the cable!'
