Hi Folks-

I need some hardware advice. I think I've wrecked my EDS input connector.
We're recording and editing in different locations, and I've been lugging
my
Paris rig all over the place. Tonight, while in a hurry to set up for tracking,
I forced the EDS/Mec connector cable into the EDS card at a bad angle, and
broke
a couple of pins. No problem, I have a spare and used it. No luck. When Paris
boots,
it now cannot find the Mec.

A closer look at the female input connector on the EDS card, shows some damage

too.

My question is, can this component be replaced as a separate item by any
computer
repair type, or is it not removable, and therefore I'll need to send the
card away?

Any help appreciated, we're wanting to keep moving on this.

Peace,

Ted

Probably a dumb question, but have you tried prying out the card
connectors a tad? It might be that you just crushed or
collapsed them a bit.

Thanks Neil-

Yeah we took the card out and put it under the magnifying glass. The 2 bottom
left input holes seem fine, and we can't find the broken tips anywhere. As
for
the broken male end, I have another back up cable that's fne, and it's not

working either.

Took the EDS card out again- and with light behind the plug, I can see
it's clear that one of the holes is blocked (prolly with the broken tip off
the
male input).

Does anyone know if this component is soldered to the Card itself? Hoping
to be able to replace it if I can't extricate the pin tip...

Thanks,

Ted
