Derek addict Registered: 16/08/1999 Posts: 453 Loc: NRW, Germany	Just noticed today that 2 of the serial connector cables have pulled out of the docking connector on my empeg. Anyone got any good tips on how to get the pins out so that I can solder them up? I think I'm a bit late to ask the empeg guys to bring a replacement to the meet tomorrow, but I'm sure it's not hard to fix. Thanks Derek (list 6284, Mk1 S/N 00299 4GB blue [for sale].

You should then be able to gently pull out the contact with tweezers or fine pliers. Be careful not to damage the spring part of the contact - they are easily bent out of shape. -- David // I'm probably not speaking on behalf of empeg/SONICblue here...
