Is there anything under the header that I might no see that could be the culprit?


Not really. However, dry solder joints on the header can sometimes be tricky to see without magnification. If the replacememnt cable you've ordered doesn't solve the problem, then see if sending the player into Stu or Rob is an option.

Reading back over the thread, I noted two things:

1. You never said whether or not you tried hand-crimping the cable as illustrated.

2. You said you tore off the top half of one of the connectors at one point during disassembly. This would definitely tend to make the cable iffy.

These two factors indicate that you're probably on the right track with getting a replacement cable as a first step.
