Hi, Tim
Fair enough -  if you have a unit with known issues, you have to suspect 
it first.
But funky connectors and old wires can cause lots of grief - and aren't 
fixed by replacing other stuff.
Except, when you wiggle the wires replacing the other stuff, the wire 
might act ok for a while - making you think that the replaced item was 
really the problem.
Most of us have been down that road - it keeps things interesting.
Regards
Jay
