As I said, the CF isn't doing its job from this perspective.

Difficult to tell from the picture, but if it's a standard connector pitch it's probably a generic piece of flexible PCB connector.

I agree.

As you say, the cause of the dropouts is indeterminate without experimentation so it's not possible to 'blame' the Pinnacle for those.
