Problem(s) Encountered:
Upper right portion of CCD lost sensitivity. pressing on thick control cable seemed to fix it but the problem quickly returned.
Solution:
Have seen this happen sporadically over the past few years, prompting me to get a spare cable from OSU a couple years ago. With it happening more frequently, I swapped in the spare cable. This is the main cable connecting the detector to the head electronics (HE). Might be worthwhile getting a new spare cable again. Camera readout appears to be working and reliable now. Old cable has been sent to OSU for inspection/repair.
