I am having alot of problems of late with my HD cable. Every couple of days when carrying the player to and from work or to and from the house it might get knocked around in the Empeg Bag I keep it in. I get to where I am going, either plug it into AC or slide it into the car sled and **POOF**....NO HARD DISK FOUND CONTACT SUPPORT. So I get out the allen wrench and screw driver. I open the case up unplug the Cable from the board and press the ends together with two hard cover books. Replace cable on board boot up and I am back in business. My question is, is there a better way to fix the cable like hot glue on the crimp to help hold it together like on the drives. Or if not I am willing to make my own cable if someone could tell me what I need for connectors and type of ribbon cable. Any idea where is a good place to order the parts from?

Before anyone chimes in about the IDE Header let me add this. I checked out the IDE header on the motherboard under a microscope and it looks OK.
