    I would have done the same thing from the back and push out

      Re: Remove a Broken Male RCA Plug From Its Female Connector

      Heh, I had to do the same thing once... Someone stuck in a 1/8" TRS phone plug into an RCA phono jack (really bright, I know...) and *BROKE* it off, perhaps in shame after finding out it was the wrong plug and couldn't easily pull it back out.

      I ended up pushing it out from the back after disassembling the keyboard. It was kind of hard because the jack was partially enclosed and the metal was scraping against the inner conduit, but it eventually came out after prying the edges a bit. I initially thought it was a "normal" case and somehow someone broke the pin of a male phono plug, but when I finally got it out, why do people do this kind of stuff? Female phono plugs do not take 1/8" male phone plugs.

      One letter makes a world of a difference!

        Problem

        This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

        Help identifying connector for ASUS 4090 Strix RGB LED connector
        by 5mall5nail5
        Hi All -

        I had replaced my ASUS 4090 Strix cooler with a waterblock and put the stock cooler on the shelf. Was moving it and snagged my sweater on the connector and pulled the wires out of the pins on the RGB connector. I tried to get them back on but its too small so I opened the stamped pins and tried to solder but its not a good repair and the wire broke on reinstallation.

        Looking to replace the connector on the cable side and get pins to crimp onto a new cable. Bought random JST and such but nothing is correct. Can anyone help identify the connector and possibly matching...

        RJ45 Block Diagram / Schematic

        RJ45 network connectors are most commonly found at either end of an Ethernet (wired internet) connection. At first glance, they appear similar to the familiar telephone plugs and jacks which connect landlines to walls or switchboards. However, RJ45 connectors are typically slightly larger.

        The term RJ45 connector is widely used today to describe both male RJ45 plugs and female RJ45 sockets. The plugs, sometimes called modular connectors, are usually found on the end of Ethernet cables. The sockets or jacks are generally embedded in the device...
