Probmens init picoborgrev

Hallo

I am experiencing serious problems with the piborgrev which I bought recently.
At power up I can see an i2c device on address 0x44. If I ask again it is not there anymore.
Using the trouble shooting on this side with python. Than this results:
>>> PBR=PicoBorgRev.PicoBorgRev()
>>> PBR.Init()
Loading PicoBorg Reverse on bus 1, address 44
Missing PicoBorg Reverse at 44
PicoBorg Reverse was not found
Trying bus 0 instead
Loading PicoBorg Reverse on bus 0, address 44
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "PicoBorgRev.py", line 264, in Init
self.Init(False)
File "PicoBorgRev.py", line 234, in Init
self.bus = smbus.SMBus(self.busNumber)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Have you some advice?
wiring is as it is supposed to. I a using raspberry 2 model B

The most likely cause is that one of the two 3-pin cables is not making a good connection.

The PicoBorg Reverse should have come with a spare 3-pin cable.
Try swapping each of the cables with the spare and see if it solves the problem.
