Oh don't get me wrong, if I could be bothered I would replace the 40 wire flat cables with 80 wire round ones & probably improve data transfer, as well as air flow - but I am wary of fiddling with things when they are working well enough - that is well enough for me
I still reckon you were right about the possibility of it being a factor with the OP's problem - though I will probably never pay you a compliment again
