12 get a new cable?
13 is everything cool enough?
14
15 why do you think, it is the controller?

17 and last point: if the controller is not explicitly marked as hot-swapable,
18 and the board able to do hotswap too, you have to proper shutdown to change

21 hotplug/hotswapable, the answer should be no.
