(ET) Card 4 woes

[stevesgroups verizon net]

The connector to Card 4 on my E20 is intermittent. I've done all the 
obvious: cleaned contacts, checked for cracked tracks, torn pads, etc. I 
think it's time to really fix it. I don't want to be messing with this in 
the middle of a snowstorm this winter.

I'm thinking:
1. Replace the connector. The board and it's contacts aren't so great 
though - could also replace the board... but it's just not a great 
connector system.
2. I could just directly solder everything; I certainly would if there 
were solder pads with holes or some way to strain relieve the wires.
3. Design a new board with pads and/or a better connector system.

Anyone had this problem and what did you do to fix it?

No, I'm not ready to convert to solid state. yet.

Thanks,
