My Kinect v2 keeps rebooting in a loop.

It's hooked up using the official PC-Adapter via USB A 3.x (blue). Adapter' LED stays solid, so power brick seems fine. Kinect fully initializes (logo → IR lights → camera on), works for a few seconds, then shuts off and restarts. Video feed freezes exactly when it dies. There’s a noticeable humming/buzzing sound under load that stops instantly when it powers off (made extra loud in video for demo). When pushing the cable downward just exactly right, it also instantly dies, suggesting a fault at the fixed cable/connector.
