Simple Repair Methods
Precautions
CAUTION
These procedures should be done with the shelf out of service
and powered down to insure no further damage to the equipment
or to the person doing the repair. If service cannot be removed
or rerouted, contact your next level of support before
proceeding.
CAUTION
Proper ESD precautions must be followed.
Make sure that you have adequate space to access the backplane area
and that you have good light sources so that you can see what you are
doing.

Visual Examination
Visually examine the connector pins to determine which pins may have
been damaged and the degree of the damage. Pins that have been
slightly bent may be carefully restored to their initial straight position.
Examine both sides of the backplane to determine if the press-fit
termination has been disturbed. These pins depend on an undisturbed
interference fit between the terminal body and the plated-through hole
in the backplane to create a reliable connection.
If the visual examination suggests that the connector pins are loose or
are damaged beyond repair, replace the connector pin.
