Loose connection to solenoid?

[ghideon]

Every now and then the power on my Emag will just go out. Usually the fix is the remove the left side grip panel and push the wires to the solenoid around. Any hints on this? I'm garbage with a soldering iron, but the roommate's got a good touch. Anyone have this problem before?

Make sure that the screw that holds the board down is fully tightened. Also, make sure that the connection where the red positive wire connects into the back of the board is good.

If the solenoid wires are loose, the only thing that those would affect is getting power to the solenoid. It should still provide power to the board regardless of how the solenoid wires are.
