ReadyNAS R104 power connector

I have a loose connection to my 104. It happened when I tried to remove the power cable, it was very stiff when removing it. How can I tell which is at fault, the power board inside the nas, or the connecting cable? Thanks.

  • With the cable removed, can you see the internal connector move when you push on it with something?  If so, it's likely broken solder joints at the connector to board interface.

        It appears to be the cable. It is very very hard to pull out. It doesn't slip out easily.
