I had this problem and replaced the C637 (470µF) capacitor on the logic board. It is ok to replace it with a higher voltage capacitor.

I had same problem.
Narrowed it down to C637 on logic board.
Replace C637 or logic board.

Does it do the same with another PC? All the pins at both ends of the cables are good?
