I'm looking into that
On a whim, I decided to have a look at the solder joints under my stereoscopic jeweler's scope. I closely examined every last solder joint.
Every single pin had a cold solder joint. The pins were just sitting in a crater of solder on the pads. I also found 2 broken solder joints between the pin board and the main circuit board (90 degree interface). Carefully re-flowed solder on all.
I'm not going to hold my breath. I doubt I'll see any improvement as Durametric tech told me he tried it on a 986 and 996 with no problems, but I'll hook it up tomorrow and try again. :ah:
