bliston 0 #1 March 4, 2007 For some one with very minimal soldering experience, is replacing the plug portion of a cam-eye possible? The plug itself snapped... BenMass Defiance 4-wayFS website sticks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefalle 0 #2 March 6, 2007 Its not difficult, you can buy the replacement plugs at radio shack, I think it took me 20 minutes start to finish to replace mine. good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #3 March 6, 2007 if you don't have a solder gun, solder, a new tip, flux etc. its probably cheaper to buy a new one. if you have all that stuff its cheaper to rebuild. but if you have no idea what your doing you may have to buy a new one anyway. go ahead and give it a whirl you may save some cash! worse to wosrt you buy a new oneMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #4 March 6, 2007 Mine did this too except the tip of the plug in in the LANC port, any ideas how to retrieve it?You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bliston 0 #5 March 6, 2007 maybe use a toothpick, some super glue, and a a very steady hand... or maybe some sort of magnet... or maybe a really strong vaccum... That sucks, good luck. BenMass Defiance 4-wayFS website sticks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PharmerPhil 0 #6 March 6, 2007 It is probably better (and less agravating) to bring it to someone who has decent soldering chops. Like maybe Jim (lots of computer geeks can solder)? Or bring it to safety day in Pepperell and I'll do it for you... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
