Warning: a loose connector on a G1000 in a Cessna 172 had me chasing a phantom voltage drop for two hours.

I was in a hangar in Phoenix, tracing a weird comms issue, and it turned out to be a single pin in the main avionics rack that wasn't fully seated, which is a lesson I won't forget about starting with the simple stuff.

My old TV went dark for a week and I swapped the whole power board. Tbh it was just the loose HDMI from my game console the whole time. Felt like a total goof after all that work. It's crazy how the simple fix is always waiting at the very end.

Honestly, @cooper.linda, that's why I always wiggle connectors first now.
