iMac power connector...help!

I just got my new iMac and I found that if I touch the power connector on the back, just a little bit it shuts down! I mean I don't even jiggle it very hard I gently move it sideways. Now I don't know if I should say something to Apple about this and get a new connector or a new iMac.
I just want to hear if anybody else has the same problem.
 
Patient: "Doctor doctor my arm hurts if I bend it like this!"

Doctor: "Simple, don't bend your arm like that" :D


Or, uh, in other words, no I'm not having that problem...
I'm so funny. :D
 
Paragon: This was an issue with early production new iMacs, and it IS an issue. I suggest you complain to Apple and get a replacement power cord. I remember seeing a do-it-yourself fix on macslash.com or even macfixit.com (archives now require a login/password that you have paid for), so if you look around you might be able to find a solution on how to fix it w/o consulting Apple.

This is a problem, though, and I highly suggest you get it fixed.
 
You will get a new connector (for free naturally). In my school we had 2 iMacs with the same problem. Also the color of the screen changed, when the powersource was touched. The creen became pink etc...
