(...) I recently had same problem and repaired it as above, it but it didn't satisfy me enough. Connection after reassembling isn't as good as it should be.

I have a piece of 9v wire that doesnt work. However, it works if you fiddle with one end (hold/apply pressure to the wire where it goes into the 2x2 plate). This suggests a loose connection inside the wire somewhere. Anyone got any suggestions on (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

Using the programming environment that comes with Mindstorms is a little frustrating in that I want to simply capture data streams in a data file and dump it to, say, a spreadsheet.
