Tipps & Tricks needed to disassemble the printercable for UM3 ext for replacement
And a quote from @gr5 in another topic (cable related ER18 Error message), point 4, where a cable relief is suggested to take away stress from the cable connector:
I think it's a coincidence as this behavior has not been reported with the update.
So the cable comes loose quite easily. It takes all of 1 minute to fix it.
1) Remove the 2 long screws at the rear of the print head. You access them at the top. Removing those completely will not do much at all - things will still stay together.
2) Then remove the rear top cover - it covers the rear half of the print head and holds the cable in place.
3) Seat the cable better. Push down on both ends of the connector with some kind of tool or small finger.
4) Put some blue tape or scotch tape or other shim around the cable for better cable relief so the cable won't slide upwards and pull the connector out again a few months from now.
5) Put it back together

Hi Daniel,
I've found a possibly helpful link at zendesk with a step-to-step instruction to change the printhead cable:
