racerx #1 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) So last year at MGC this unit was working fine. I pulled it out of (dry, semi-sealed) storage today to inventory everything and found this: No way I can slip a composite cable over that. What would have caused that kind of damage? It's like the edge connector just bubbled up or something...it almost looks burned. Should I just try to Dremel it back down? Try to "desolder" it? [edit] Upon further review, I think I picked this unit up afterwards. It's looks as though the connectors have been soldered. Should I just desolder whatever's on there?

Zerosquare #2 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Yes, just clean the pads using solder wick, then alcohol. They will still look silvery, but it's OK. Edited January 13, 2013 by Zerosquare Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racerx #3 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Success! Pads cleaned up, LED installed...just need to Dremel the posts on the white case and reattach to the mobo. Edited January 14, 2013 by racerx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
