Check for Loose Connections
Last Updated: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 > Related Articles
Summary
Loose or damaged wires and cables can ruin your viewing experience. We'll help you track down loose connections.
Solution
Avoid tools for tightening your cables! Finger-tightening is enough to join signal connectors, and pliers and other tools can damage fragile connections.
