polyex Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Does anyone sell a proper cable for my Stargate board, apparently the one I got is male (to the boards male). Any help is appreciated. The problem is the same on the other board as well BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo-Torch Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Can't tell what the black connector's pins look like in your picture. Are they round mating pins or sharp split pins made to cut the insulation as a ribbon cable is pressed in...like what would be inside the blue connector on your cable if you took it apart? If so, split the blue connector apart and press it onto the black connector. Although, it looks like the left locking tab is broke off the black connector.

Should I just cut the old connector off at try to press the pins and ribbon cable together or try to line up the old holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo-Torch Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'd first try to take the blue connector apart, gently remove the cable and line up the holes with the old black connector on the board. Then press the blue cap on to hold it in place. There could also be a plan B. What does the other side of the circuit board look like? Does the black connector have the same size round pins that are simply soldered onto the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
