Its definitely not the cable.


This is likely a bad electrolytic which is leaking current and causing the
power supply to shut down. Actually, it's more likely to be a bunch of them.
The original caps are kind of cheap and the power supply is kind of marginal
so my inclination is to just shotgun out all the decoupling caps on stuff
like this. If you just replace the most leaky caps it'll be fine but then
six months later you'll have to pull it apart again.
