Hi all - just opened up my JP for the first time and I noticed that the below grounding straps that connect to the dmd assembly are frayed and one is completely broken.

Does this cause game issues?

Should I replace both? Recommendations on places to get them?

You should replace. It is readily available as "flat tinned copper braid".

If you are really wanting to replace that ground braid, you can get some from these people.

Thanks luch - I swung by a friends house and they soldered back together (my solder skills are subpar) - worked like a charm.
