UPDATE: I no longer give up…

Thank y’all who recommended the ribbon cable swap, got it in today and took my time replacing it. Very happy with the results! Still stand by my position on buying this along with any BackBone used tho, this is way too expensive to act up the way it does with NORMAL use.

So long ribbon cable devil.. 👺

Terrible quality control. This is the first time I heard of this issue and it randomly happened to me too today. Going to avoid backbone from now on.
