Did you try cleaning the connectors, or put a touch of DeOxit on each one (it just takes a touch, not a dip)? Or maybe you just got the black bean and have a flakey cable. Happens …
I have problems with these types of connectors all the time. A bit of DeOxit followed by rotating the connector in the socket usually resolves it (though not always permanently). Sometimes just rotating is enough, since the wiping action (and repositioning what is essentially a point contact) can mitigate whatever might be on the surfaces causing the problem. > On Mar 16, 2018, at 2:16 PM, Terry Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello All, > > > > As an example of the flaky behavior of my problem, since sending my post to > the group a few minutes ago, I unplugged the double connectors that go from > the PX3 to the KX3 and reversed them.
