USB Connector has malfunctioned

Or try Radio Shack (although it can be overpriced as well).  The best best, if you have one:  an electronics store in the area.  I just picked up a 3’ or so USB micro-cable for $1 (but it was on sale) a few weeks ago. 

Oops, almost forgot a great source for things like this:  meritline.com (great for items like this!) and monoprice.com.
