KnC Neptune Fire hazard warning

[cohnhead]

I have the same problem with pcie connector failing and melting .....does any one know where to get replacement connectors with pins...if I cant unsolder from board I am sure I can find someone local to to that...then solder in new one

If you are from EU, I should have a few hundreds connectors in stock.

If not, search for this one on the usual resellers:

And, depending, on the price, you can also try moddiy, SKU:CO148

They are quite hard to unsolder, you will need to heat the area around the connectors, and probably add some flux to take them off without damaging the boards. I'm not sure it can be done in a safe manner without a hot air rework station.

appreciate the link...im in nyc area. I have someone who can remove melted connector and put on new one....for about $100usd....so I wont even bother to try myself as I really don't have proper equipment.....he just needed me to get connectors. i'll let you know how it works out. again thanks
