1 out of 8 tracks not working

Out of the blue the first track on my 8 track just stopped working.
I haven't done too much poking around to find the problem yet.
Do any of you guys have any suggestions to what it might be?
 
Start by checking all connections.
Work the track switches a bit
Reseat the card.

If nothing...switch the card with another track, if the problem follows the card....well, you know what that means.
 
UPDATE:

so after fiddling around, unplugging and replugging cables, the same thing that happening to my 1st track happened to my 2nd track.
I knew something was wrong so I unplugged everything, all ins and outs.
Then I RWD the tape, played in back, and voila!
Everything worked fine.
Then when I replugged the cables, it didn't work.
So I plugged in a different cable and it worked like a dream!

All and All, something a bad cable is shorting out something.
I'll have to spend an afternoon fixing them
