How can we fix the connector? I'm open to viable ideas. And, I know
the problem is not with the IPC, as I have tried two other known
working units and had the same intermittent issue.

Thanks!!

The sockets and pins on the connectors have a small tab on the back of them usually that can be pushed in with a needle mini screwdriver or a special tool, usually really expensive, so they can be pulled out. They then can be replaced or reshaped and reinserted. Electronic shops can get these pins and tools. The plug should have a name or symbol on it.

If the pins are square or rectangle, you also can carefully twist each pin slightly so it grabs the socket at an angle. This can tighten them up nicely sometimes.
