Midas XL88 Servicing

[kswan]

Hi,

Has anyone ever serviced a Midas XL-88 before? It has a modular build, but the cards seem to be trapped in the chassis by the rear connectors. They're fed through a hole in the chassis and then soldered to the cards. Is there some trick to this thing, or do I really have to find a way to unsolder the rear connectors before I yank the cards?



Thanks,
Kyle

You dont show the back, but they are probably the Neutrik chassis mount pcb connectors that have a little latch that you poke a screwdriver into and release it. Then the guts slides out of the shell.

Yes, that's it. Thank you. Never seen these before.
