Yep - we tried doing this when we first found the fault - not only did it not last, but we couldn't really ask customers to attack their cables with pliers.

If done properly, then it can fix the cable - the fault is just a poor crimp, probably because the person operating the crimping tool wasn't trained fully - crimping ribbon cables is a bit of an art form.

Replacement cables are free of charge - just email [email protected] with your postal address.
