If you can disassemble the twiddler and tie a knot in the cable to prevent tension on any connections (if its not already protected from pulling out) that would help too. You shouldn't need to replace the cable or anything unless there are some serious breaks in the wires (unlikely). I'm surprised the wires are shorting on you. I don't have a twiddler, but I've never heard any complaints about loose wires. -Paul -- R.
