Yeah, I've seen those cables, they're a tad on the funky side. Should be
able to find a replacement somewhere, and I'm betting it's going to be
easier to purchase and test than a new unit via RMA. Do you have a time
limit on the RMA?

Has it been crushed by a drawer, chair, heavy monitor, chewed, bent
excessively... etc

Could just be manufacturing defect.
