Defect D-sub

RolandIronfist · 29-November-05, 04:25 PM

Hi everybody.

I have a Radeon 9600 Pro with a defect d-sub connector. I just want to know - is it possible to replace the d-sub itself? I know dude thats great with soldering and that kind of stuff, i have no doubt that he could do it. Only thing is - will it work? And if so will any d-sub work?

Cheers

Absolutly NOT. A PCB can have many Layers. Your better off RMAing the card.

I'd like to further support Nerdz by stating that he is 100% correct.

unless of course, the card's out of warranty

Even then, it wont work. As I said, the PCB has Many (2 or more) layers.

Damn.. Actually its not completely defect - it works - you just have to sit for a few hours to get the angle completely right when you insert the cable and it then it works.. bummer..

And no RMA anymore..
