I noticed that the IDE cable had lost its plastic skin in two points, scratching agaist the display board. Wires are visible, unfortunately, but they seem still protected enough not to create any problem, yet. However, do you think that they may have shortcuted something on the display board?


Mmm.. possibly. If they do look a bit scuffed-up, then some extra layer between the cable and the display board certainly would not hurt. Perhaps just a few wraps of tape around the cable would do it.
