Title: K7000 neck pin broke
Post by: Zuul86 on January 21, 2017, 02:00:58 pm
Hello, I'm trying to restore at cabinet with a k7000 chassis.  I found that the pin right next to the key is broke off.  It almost seems like it's not used. No trace goes to it on the board, and it's also not labeled like the others (G1, KG, G2, KR, H, H, KB). I still have the pin but I'm wondering if I even need to repair it.  If I do I was going to try and use a conductive silver epoxy. See images. I circled the one with the broken pin. Thoughts?

In second look I think pin 1 in the key is broken as well.  I need that one for sure because that's the focus.  I still think I don't need that other pin.

I figured it out.  I used a high conductive silver epoxy to connect the pin. The pin I had circled was not used.  I reattached the pin in passion one at the key and the monitor works.
