<p>Jardy, I don't know what it means to "driver back" to 3.2.0.0.
Can you help me out with that?<br>

<div><span>Chris,</span><br>
<span></span><br>
<span>Thanks for your response. I made sure the plug was fully
inserted and </span><br>
<span>put pressure on it throughout the process. I also looked
at the plug, </span><br>
<span>and it is metal all the way to the base - no plastic is
getting in the </span><br>
<span>way. Unfortunately the suggestions you gave, as good as
they are, did </span><br>
<span>not solve this particular problem.</span><br>
