Everyone,
Okay, so now that it's established that PWM = Victor, I am up to date. By the way, Dave, the above quote is a great one, and I completely know what you mean. Of course, if a mechanical designer were to try programming...

Furthermore: Justin, we have had similar problems. The newer vics have the deeper PWM sockets than last years, which is a gift and a curse (they are harder to get the PWM cables out, but also harder to get them in!) Make sure your pins are all straight and the right pins go to the right holes, then try inserting. This is not an uncommon problem.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
