NISMOPC Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Purchased 130XE off of ebay. works almost flawlessly. The cartridge port has several lower prongs broken off the motherboard. Looking to replace entire socket (expansion/cartridge) instead of attempt to bridge the snapped prongs. Willing to buy a bad 130XE motherboard if the price is right, but really just need the socket. Let me know... Thanks! Edited July 18, 2017 by NISMOPC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Those are a pain in the ass to remove from a 130XE board and you tend to lose a few legs. You might want to reach out to best electronics or myatari to see if they have some NOS replacements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a LOT of patience, but I did it and it works perfectly. NO LONGER NEED THE PORT... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
