They'll also want the game's serial number to track whether it's been sent a replacement already. They know the original is crap and that they'll make a few $$$ doing overhauls on machines made defective by their own penny pinching. If you insist on buying the connector, MCM Electronics has the connectors for around $9. As for getting into the case, remove the outer screws, lift the lid, take off the shield, slide the connector off and slip the new one on, and install the shield and cover. No big deal. Some of the newer ones have security screws though so get them out by drilling a small hole in them and use an "EZ OUT" to revove the old screws, replace them with common screws of the same size. If anyone gets into this stuff regularly and needs security type bits, MCM has a nice little set for around $12. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Russ Blakeman RB Custom Services / Rt. 1 Box 62E / Harned, KY USA 40144 Phone: (502) 756-1749 Data/Fax:(502) 756-6991 Email: rhblake(a)bbtel.com or rhblake(a)bigfoot.com Website: http://members.tripod.com/~RHBLAKE/ ICQ # 1714857 * Parts/Service/Upgrades and more for MOST Computers* --------------------------------------------------------------------
