Diagnostic/Fix Action
Inspect both the female connector
on the board, and the male
connector on the cable.
If the female connector on the board
is not severely crushed, it can often
be cleared using a dental pick. If the
male connector pin appears to be off
center, recenter using fine tweezers.
Replace the board only if the
connector center hole is crushed
beyond repair.
