Title: Tex 80% case internal connector replacement?
Post by: Johan on Tue, 23 June 2015, 21:38:08

The story is basically don't do this **** at 3:30 am, No matter how messed up your sleep schedule is.
The esc key was rubbing against the case a little, so I wanted to adjust the pcb placement.
This is what the thing looks like. http://imgur.com/wxvP6Ne,JguQ1Ce,0ISwLZT#0
I think I can solder the loose wire, But I'd really like to have a replacement if I duck it up more.

So I need one of these things.
