That's a possibility. Are you sure it's not your X3.
Tried em with my stereo also, so its not the source
Damn, that's rough. The cables really shouldn't get in the way through tilt and swivel, unless they're placed really weirdly in yours. They're easy to open though, if you feel like checking.
I'll crack em open and have a looksee. Maybe it's just a bad solder joint on the board 7keys pointed out. Might even go savage with some blutack
