Topic: Broken 7 Pin (advice)

[grayp]

Hey Everybody,
My 7pin has quit giving signal.  I've been kinda slow on getting it fixed since I only really use it to provide patches out of the extra out on the sbm.  In any case, I was thinking about pulling it apart myself and trying to figure it out but I've never really done such a thing.  am i opening a big can of worms or is it fairly self explanitory once i get in.

thanks,
gray

who built that 7pin?  i cant tell at a glance.. it kind of looks like an oade bu the color of the cabling ... if it is send it back to them to have them fix it

Not sure about warranty, but I've had mixed results - had one fixed free, another for $15.

mine just broke as well, but it is going to need a whole new 7pin head. wonder if they willl still fix it for $15? gonna give them call. i also have line on a prodig cable for $80 that's  been used for only a year i think. maybe i should just save and have both

its an oade.  have no idea about warranty or not but i doubt it since i've had it since 98.  i'll give it a shot though.

Open it up and fix it, it really isn'
t too bad in there if you have soldering skills and an eye for what wires are going where.

do not begin to solder a 7pin if you dont know what you are doing.  the solder points in there are pretty small and take a pretty steady hand and a real good knowledge of whats going on in there to do it right.  pay oade to fix it.  not worth saving 15 bucks to risk damaging the cable for good.
