guys, this is very easy to do... don't replace all of them just cut out the little piece that has the faulty one, then remove the connectors straight from the circuit board for that RCA plug only, and pick up new one, solder it to the circuit board and glue it to the remaining black plastic piece.... soldering just an rca plug from the cable will be tricky, since its a wire that you will have to clean first... and the mount will be flimsy and may bring noise to the circuit.... for service you will pay $50 minimum... and plug costs about $1

Where can I get a RCA mount that will fit my amplifier?

I picked up a mounting board but it does not line up with the existing pin outs on the board.

I removed the two defective RCA plugs completely. Now I need a replacement that fits!
:S

The one I picked up, I picked up from Sayal in Mississauga.
I'll go look around, maybe they have another one?

Whats wrong with it? You can always mod it a bit so it will fit... and set it in place with epoxy....

The circuit board has two connectors for each rca plug.
one for each ground, one for each signal.

the new mounting board that I got, has one universal ground for both the channels.
So I think I'll have to get a new one.

Uhm correct me on that but ground is ground.... i wouldn't worry about that, but If you want to be super safe on that, just get 2 single females and strap them together...

I think everyone is overlooking the obvious here. If it is just the passthrough, use a pair of Y adapters instead and you're done. Unless of course the broken one is one of the inputs. Then just switch the broken one with the good pass through and use the Ys instead and you're good to go. Seems like that would be the easiest way to fix it. Which one exactly is the broken one for?

The broken one is the input.
But yea, this weekend I'm going to try and the other two over.

I don't need the pass through anymore anyways!

Any one got good links on how to go about desoldering and removing something like a mounting board from a circuit board? I've never done it before! :/

Any idea how much S&S would charge?
Something like this would normally cost around $30-50.00 for both parts and labour. Please feel free to contact us anytime at 647-435-5980 for your free estimate.
