WIRE FROM WACOM TABLET NEEDS REPLACEMENT

This cable is not user replaceable because the cord connects inside the tablet.
I called Wacom tech support about my Intuos3 with similar issue (cord problem). They will replace the cable for $75. I asked if could purchase a cable for myself (I didn't want to send my tablet in) but they do not sell the cable directly to consumers because you'd have to open your tablet. (I found out the hard way that the inside of the tablet is held together with pressure; so once opened, parts inside shift and it becomes a puzzle to put back together.)
Hope that helps in some small way!
