Does this confirm what you suspected?

Yes, it does.

I don't recall what that connector looks like or where it is at.

Perhaps put a small piece of foam between connector and case so it is always pushed once the case is closed?

The 'real' fix would be to remove and re-install the connector.
But that requires special hot-air, SMT rework, tools and high skill.

So try just wedging that thing in there tighter.

Thanks for the tip.
I'll find time to go fondle the guts of the 'broken' K3 devices I have on-hand.
