Texas Instruments used to make led displays years ago that would habitually have oxidization on their contacts. Don't know if Digidesign used TI or someone else's displays.

thanks Jack.
Im a little low on gumption, but I appreciate the tip.

Warning, Im total non tech, but even if the connectors are mated, and the desk hasnt been moved, the oxidation can still cause an issue?

thanks again,
Sean
