it has the exact same amount of buttons

Hey dudes, wanted to know if any Genesis/Mega Drive 'thusiasts can help me, as I've had some issues with my Euro Model II.

The controller keeps disconnecting on its own. Sometimes only half the pads buttons stop working, sometimes only up and right on the dpad seem to work and I have to wiggle the input to get it working normally again, which often results in the game crashing. It's an official six button pad I bought on ebay which has apparently been refurbished and tested. It's in good condition and there's no damage to the cable or on the pins on the console itself. With the right amount of wiggling I can get it to work fine, but the slightest movement of the cable screws it up, and strangely some games are harder to keep working than others (streets of rage II works almost flawlessly, but I cant play earthworm jim for more than 2 mins before it cuts out).

Apologies for the essay, but does anyone have any ideas what the issue might be?
