Problem was short cables put a strain on the RCA video input socket causing a fractured joint.

Don't you just hate all the modern designs in which the soldered joints are the only thing supporting the socket? It's bad enough when you know about this lazy construction method and thus go gently with connections, but the strain they're under from the average Joe who just jams the plugs in sure takes its toll.
