I checked the pins and I have found that pin #1 is loose. I am
planning on fixing it myself since the local Zenith will be charging
me $92 to just look at the thing. A new part at Radio Shack is about
$10. According to another user, this is just a matter of cutting the
cable and soldering the pins with the new connector.....

....now tell me, is this a smart thing to do since there is 15 little
tiny pins to solder.....or should I just pay the guy $120+ to fix the
thing? Any insight would be appreciative....
