'353 lan cable issues'

just before we left to film in Spain the hard drive stopped working on the 353. Seemed like the hard drive had failed. So I replaced the hard drive at the hotel but still could not see the drive. We ended up filming with the 333 again. When I came back from Spain I set the camera up with the older cables & the thing worked again. Seemed to be working better also. After replacing the old cables with the new Cat5 lan cabbles the hard drive was not visible again... Will upload some pics of the cables, the new cable would not work with the 333 if that adds a clue.

Having issues with the 353 recording in high vibration situations. Seemed to work flawlessly recording from a helmet for the 40minutes it took a pro MTB rider to ride a lap of the super rough Houffalize world cup. But recording from a car over cobbles or from a Motorbike (tarmac roads) seems not possible. The camera stream will stay on with the car set up but will tend to reset on the motorbike. recording smaller files does not help as does jpegs. My thinking is that there is enough space in a cache someplace to deal with the shock & jolts from the MTB race but not enough to deal with the constant lower force vibration of the motorbike or cobbles. I noticed that on cobbles we could always record about the 1st 200meters so maybe the cache is the issue?
