I read the teardown after I took it apart, which was before I posted the question. I found that movement affected whether or not the device worked as intended, but couldn't replicate the conditions needed for it to work properly. The wires looked good, but the power supply connection point was slightly loose and was part of the movement to work conditions; but as I can't figure out what else is needed to keep it running properly, I'm at a loss as to what's actually going on inside of the device. With all these factors to consider; is there anything else that I can do to fix it, or am I better off getting it replaced?
