OK, so I taped all day a few weeks ago using my V3 with zero power problems. I taped again, 2 weeks later, plugged in the power cord, screwed it down, turned on the V3 and no power comes on at all.....hmmmmmm....so I reach in back and wiggled the cable and the power and lights start to flip out, the overs come on, the bit rate lights are going off and on as I move the cable around. Finally get it stable and the power stays on, but the slightest bump causes it to flip out.
First thought was that the power cable I have is bad, second one I have been through and they are crap IMO. So I get home, get out the wallmart that comes with the V3, plug it in, and have the same problem, I have to jiggle the cord to get a good conncetion and then pray it stays, I played with it some more and realize that once I have the power cable screwed into the V3 it still moves around inside the jack a little (side to side and up and down). I have to rotate the cable around in the jack to get a good connection, and it picks up a good conncetion on the same place as I rotate it around.
Since both cables are doing it I am thinking something is wrong with the jack, but looking at it nothing seems to be bent or damaged so I don't know what is wrong...have a slew of shows coming up with no time to ship it in, it does work, just very finickey.
Any one have any ideas what could be wrong?
