You replace the female connector yes? Is there a way to check them to
see if they need replaced? This disturbs me as an I,Robot owner - it took
me 2 years to find one and kinda big dollars (of course a few more showed
up within months after I got mine :) Anyway if there is some preventative
maintenance I'd like to be aware of it.

Thanks,
