A:AnswerYou can go to any computer store to purchase a replacement cord, that is not hard to do. Bring your old cord with you and you should have no problem finding a replacement for a few dollars.
A:AnswerWith a game controller mounted in the cradle and charging it is 4 1/8" high from the base to the top of the mounted controller.
