Connector
Problems
Care must be taken
on inserting the
cables into the board
to keep the male
connectors well
aligned with the
female connectors.
Inspect the cable
male connector
before EVERY
insertion. Correct
any tilt or off-center
of the center pin, if
necessary.
The MCX connectors used on the
gray cables on the option cards
are delicate.
Inspect both the female connector
on the board, and the male
connector on the cable.
If the female connector on the board
is not severely crushed, it can often
be cleared using a dental pick. If the
male connector pin appears to be off
center, recenter using fine tweezers.
Replace the board only if the
connector center hole is crushed
beyond repair.
