Lodestar Troubleshooting

Hey guys. A while back I was having trouble getting Maxim, or PHD to co-operate with my lodestar guider. It would always have trouble sending move commands in one axis. I'm pretty sure I narrowed it down to being the guide connector on the back of the camera. Anyway, a couple of zip ties to the USB cord and a firm pressing in of the plug seemed to have done the trick over the past 6 months. First clear night in 3 weeks, same problem again

Re-plugging it in, wiggling, and so forth seem to show positive signs, but on the final move it plays up again.

At this stage I'm thinking of opening it up and hard wiring an RJ plug to it, and see if that solves it. Other than that, has anyone else experienced this and found a good solution?
Thanks
Erik
