SW Pemium Ethernet cable Node board 9 advice please!

[J.C.Rox]

Node Board 9 keeps getting lost! (Not Found on boot up) I reseat both ends of the ethernet cables and reboot and all is fine until half way through a game and several switches/optos go dead and its the same problem with the same fix. Can I assume this means the cables work loose during game play? If so whats the fix? Are there better cables to replace with that click more firmly into place? Could the problem be elsewhere but this is how it presents?

Also who is it here that burns sd cards? I remember someone offering that service?! I've been sent a new SW code that has improved audio and new vids added but can't seem to get Etcher working to add to my misery! If you want less yoda etc on your SW pro/premium heres the link to ask the guy on pinside! https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/t...nes-attract-mode-and-more/page/2#post-8805993

You can try bending the little plastic click that locks it in place up a bit to put a bit more tensions on it, but not too far otherwise it WILL snap off.

Have come across this in IT networking before, the clip doesnt put enough pressure to hold it properly in place and can get dislodged by movement in the cabinet form people working in it, like the solenoids in a pin.

Thanks mate, I'll def give that a go!

Only a suggestion, as I haven't tried it, but if you push something like a cocktail stick, or other small wedge between the plastic clip & plug body, you'd lessen the likelihood of it breaking. Would increase the pressure, but may fall out.
