Just in case
you are unfamiliar it is best to take a pair of vise grips
and
break up the bad S100 connectors. After that you can remove the pins one
Agreed. The backplane is much more valuable than the connectors...
In some cases, though, you can remove individual pins by melting the
solder and pushing them out.. And then put a new pin, taken from a
similar connector, in its place. I've done this on edge connectors,
header plugs, etc. Worth doing if the replacement connectors are hard to
get. -tony
The S100 connectors are available, Todd Fischer just finished checking out
the quality of new sockets. Before buying any check with Todd to find out
which are best.
Imsai plated through the holes on their Motherboards.
