The metal prongs on my USB plug for my digital camera broke somehow...my computer won't even read it when i plug it in. Any suggestions on where i can buy the same exact plug for my camera??

you should be able to pick another one up at any local electronics retailer like Circuit City or Best Buy. Make sure you bring your camera (and the old USB if possible) to make sure you get the right one. There are different kinds of USB cords that connect to digital cameras, so make sure you pick out the right one.

If you end up having to pay for a new USB cable, consider buying a card reader instead. This will work with any camera you buy in the future, as well.
If you get a card reader, no additional software is necessary. This is not only faster, but it saves your camera batteries. Your computer or printer may even have a card reader built into it. I have enough USB ports that I just leave it plugged in all the time.
First of all, be sure there are some pictures on the card. Plug the card reader into an open USB port. Plug the card into the appropriate slot on your card reader. I use Photoshop Elements and as soon as I plug my card into the reader, it starts its own card reader and displays a thumbnail of every picture on the card.
If this does not happen automatically, open your photo editing software. Do whatever you usually do to open a file, but click on the selector where you can change drives. Your card reader will be assigned a new drive name that will be one letter higher than you ever saw before, such as "Drive G:" or such. Then, just double click on the name of the file you want to open and it will appear in your photo editor.

You should be able to contact the manufacturer of your digital camera to get an extra. If you threw away the info that came with the camera just look at the camera for the make and model number and go to their website.

There are very few places that will stock cables like that but if you go to any camera shop that carries the make of camera you have and they will be able to order you one which should only take a few days.

Go online to the camera manufacture and order it
