It has crossed my mind that this cable is just too old and has lost what

Yup, you're right on the button. They are cheap and nasty cables and if it's any more than 3 or 4years old has vastly outlived the manufacturers expected life of the machine it was supplied with.

Best to buy another cable, though if you think about it maybe it's best to buy a new machine. It is possible to get a really good cable but they ain't cheap like the bog standard ones....
