Unstable connections may result from one of the following:
Cage Cabinet
Inner Cabinet
Internal Cables (from sensor port to CPU)
CPU
Cable
Connector
Sensor
...
Step 1: Photos and LED-activity in CPU
Some photos before- and after enables us to better understand the root cause and gives us a better oppurtunity to implement a solution.
...
Its of great interest to know the LED activity on the port before- and after. LED activity indicates active communication to the sensor.
...
Step 2: Test the Inner Cabinet (Port Replacement)
If only one sensor is experiencing issues, the problem could be with the port connection in the Inner Cabinet. By swapping ports, we can see if the problem follows the sensor or stays with the port.
...
Outcome 1: Top sensor works in Port B, and the bottom sensor stops working in Port A.
Diagnosis: Port A in the Cage Cabinet is likely faulty.
Solution: Replace the Cage Cabinet.
Outcome 2: Both sensors work after the swap.
Diagnosis: The Cage Cabinet is working fine. The issue might be with the cable or sensor.
Outcome 3: The top sensor still does not work, but the bottom sensor works.
Diagnosis: The Inner Cabinet is functional. The problem is likely with the cable or top sensor.

3: Determine if the Issue is with the Cable or Sensor
Now that we've ruled out the Cage Cabinet, let's check if the cable or sensor is causing the issue.
