Re: [FTC]: Samantha? Like it or hate it?

Loose power connectors was definitely an issue. About 20/74 teams here in Oregon were affected bad connectors causing power loss to Samantha. Bad connectors was definitely one of the top causes of field problems.

As far as I could tell in the field, the female half of the plug was getting enlarged, perhaps due to side to side wiggling of the connector when being connected/disconnected. I instructed teams to squeeze it smaller (with either needle nose pliers or a small screwdriver), and that seemed to make things better.
