I'm not a betting man, but I'd wager that a significant percentage of the radio reboots happened because the power connector wouldn't stay in unless you taped the darn thing.

Regardless of rat's nest wiring or not, it's still a pretty bad situation to sit there still for the majority of the match just because your radio power cycled...
