I have had bent pins within the connector before and that is not the problem and I am using quality cables with all the connections so I dont think that it is a faulty cable but I havent had a chance to swap them around so I will try it. I will let you guys know how it goes and I appreciate the replies. But just out of curiosity have there been any issues that you guys know of w/the 1050 that resemble the problem I am having? Any info is appreciated and I hope there isnt an issue with the 1050 -- I like it too much. Thanks -
