Jens have those 1200 connectors, but he is very disturbed in this subject (don't ask).
But if you feel brave, de-solder the whole thing and use one of the unused pins to replace the broken one. That is how I fixed a Mediator pass-through I have. Another option is: buy a Mediator pass-through and use their connector. |

yet another option is, solder a wire from the solder point to the mobo.
you can't change boards easily but it should work |

replacing the whole connector is too much work, and might have it's dangers too...!
I would go with soldering a small cable like coze said... also did you try it? maybe the pin broken is not used at all... |

panick over, I have now solved my problem
thanks to rkauer`s suggestion about the med pass through i had previously bought a new pass through,as mine was nolonger powering up my tower? taking a closer look at my old pass through, i noticed that 2 of the connector pins, as they came out the rear of the connector, had what looked like extra pieces on them,and why they were angled?? upon looking at my bppc, i had the same on 1 connector pin, this pin, its not broken at all, when you push your accelerator onto the mb, this had caught the edge of the pin and pushed it down and out the back of the connector block, pressing it back in, & straightning it out , cured it, normal service has resumed plus my old pass through has been saved aswell thank you for your suggestions, its always the small simple things that cause the most headache`s i am still going to source a spare connector though, twizzle Last edited by twizzle; 14 December 2009 at 20:13. |

Nice to know you don't had to go to solder/flux nightmare. |
