Most likely that youve damaged the cable so only some of the data bits are
getting through giving the garbled description.
Try clamping up the connectors in a vice (not too hard!). If removing the
cables tryto lever them off the connectors from underneath, and avoid
pulling on the cable itself.
Hope this helps.
