S-VIDEO cable/connectors are not robust. I've had "premium" cables go bad, often broken pins. And sockets can go bad as well, sometime failing solder joints.

The group asks why he did that, and his response was to list it on eBay as "slightly used".
Sounds like a plan! Many listers know nothing about the gear they auction. Some pick up a VCR at a yard sale for $2, remove the PBJ sandwich from the tape slot, power it enough to see the flashing 12:00 on the display, and then say it works and flip it on ebay. It truth it may be, at best, a "parts" machine. And than, if listed as for "parts" some essential/valuable internals may be missing having been parted-out already.
