Do you use a USB connection to the AM5? I've now replaced FOUR USB type B ports on AM5 mounts. I think that the ports are not meant to have cables putting lateral force on them, all 4 had the center plastic part crack off. If you do (all 4 used ASIAir and I guess you need a cable between them?) find a way to do some stress relief, OR better get, get a short USB B to USB anything cable, and then plug your working cable into that, so you're not tugging on the port every time you setup and break down.
I had a similar issue with the power port on my CPC 800. It's just a wonky connection.
