Long story short, I managed to soak my K200D's USB cable in water while it was connected to the computer. No longer works.

Where can I find a replacement for this strange cable that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Thanks,

Reid

B&H and Adorama (via Amazon) have it listed for around $12. You might be able to find a cheaper generic on ebay or online cable supplier. Look for USB17.

Any micro USB cable will do, you can buy that at any computer store.

Yep, I'd just roll to wal-mart or Best Buy.

Be careful about asking for Micro USB. Micro USB is what most new bluetooth headsets use and many cellphone manufacturers have opted for as far as a new standard for cell phone chargers.

This kind will obviously not fit, so don't ask by name alone. Best Buy might have it in the camera section, but I doubt WalMart will. They don't exactly stock too many cables anyway.

Thanks for all the help! I ended up buying the I-USB17 from B&H. I probably could have paid less than $12 but didn't think it was worth the hassle.

I did look at some "micro USB" cables online and they either were did not look the same as the old one or didn't have a clear photo. I was too lazy to go to any brick & mortar stores other than my campus bookstore, which didn't have it.

I wish the device used a plain old mini-USB connector like everything else. I think it's pretty damn lame that it doesn't. I have about 900 of those cables laying around.
