This may be your problem.  Get a wide terminated cable and use an 
unterminated adapter.

Get some.  I assume that this is a production machine for work?  They 
shouldn't have any trouble shelling out 20 or 30 bucks for a pre-terminated 
wide ribbon.  It's the right thing to do, and offers the lowest number of 
points of failure.
