Here's an idea: make sure the 2.5mm connector is *ALL* the way in. Take
a knife (pocket knife, for example) and trim off some of the plastic
around the end of the connector, where the metal comes out. That'll make
it smaller diameter, so it will fit into the recess in the TI case. I
had this same problem when I built ten serial links for the TI-85.
