Hi, The power cable for my STF-8300M got connection problem. When I plug in the power cable onto the camera and tighten the screw, the camera cannot get power from the power cable. But when I loosen the screw and twist the cable at certain angle, it work. I suspect either the socket not "grapping" the power cable joint firmly or the power cable got internal breakage. Any suggest to me to verify further the problem? Please advise. Thank you very much. Hin Hua Observatory, Malaysia.
The center post is the issue. If you take a small blade to the post and SLIGHTLY spread the two halves apart a bit, it will make better contact.
