[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 218792, member: 52"] The connections break or short from use and abuse over time- strain reliefs becoming loose, people pulling by the wire rather than the connector. Over time, static connections can oxidize, and may need to be cleaned, they may present as very high resistance rather than open connections. The snake may have been donated with bad channels. When you open up the "bad" board end XLR connectors, should be apparent whether it's a problem that is going to happen on all of them. I owned one cheap used sub-snake that eventually failed on every connector, would have been better off checking them all when the first failure occurred. Solder joints can become non conductive for various reasons, but most simply are broken. [/QUOTE]
