Bad pin contacts - requesting suggestion on how to fix

Mar 28, 2006 1 Replies

Hello everyone,



I have an issue with a Bluetooth module in a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop. The module doesn't make good contact in the socket that it plugs into, and I've been thinking that it might be possible to apply some conductive material to the pins in order to guarantee contact.



I'm not a H/W person, so I'd like to know what people think, whether it is practical, and perhaps what tools would be required.



To get an idea of how the connection looks like take a look here:

Thanks in advance.


you can tighten the onboard connector. Use a flat head jewlers screwdriver(usally the smaller the better) and pull contact strips to tighten the connection. Be carefull not to damage the connection.

Hope this helps Pete
