Re: How to adjust horizontal position of Readout display? R7903

Hi,
It may be possible to reform the pin. They sometimes get pushed back and get stuck trying to spring back. Sometimes they will come back if knugged with a scribe. I have the pins but it may be a week or before I can return to the ranch to get them.

It is possible to replace just the one contact. Not a fun project as you
may want to remove the entire interface board to make it easy. I would guess
someone on the list has a parts board and could recover a few pins for
you.

Found it. Tried several things, but after looking very carefully found that
the A38 spring (correct term?) is broken. See photo:
It's
the curved part of the metal spring that the card would press against that is
broken off. So the card is just not able to make a good connection in the J2
connector at A38.
Is there a practical fix for this? Replacing the
entire connector is probably not gonna happen. Maybe some way of soldering
some kind of conductive shim? I have a feeling that type metal doesn't take to
soldering easily, and in really tight, tiny quarters....
I am assuming
there isn't a way to replace just the spring metal for that one pin, is that
correct?
Ideas? Rob, maybe you've faced this before?
