The top pcb is the new one. If it were me...instead of desoldering the port to swap it around, I would just use my x-acto or other sharp hobby knife and remove the excess plastic around the base. The port it self is still centered the issue is the plastic on the base prevents it from seating back into the cartridge molded sleeve on the bezel portion. So, yeah, I would just try and cut and remove that excess plastic. You won't see any of it anyway once it is all back together. I installed mine last night, but as I had the older style it was a right bear to do and I basically had to remove every single screw and completely remove the bezel around the switches etc. It was.... interesting to hold that stuff into place manually while trying to get some of the screws back in afterwards. Also the ribbon cables had to be twisted of course to match up, but also they are just about long enough to reach so there isn't must play in the ribbons to move them where needed. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/371614-updated-cartridge-socket-giveaway/page/11/#findComment-5543299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben from Plaion Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 (edited) One thing to note people that have received the update cartridge socket boards, I didnt check what dumper version was flashed to the MCU, so you might want to check that if you're on anything other then 1.0 firmware.

Plumbob Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 (edited) Received and installed mine yesterday. Thanks @Ben from Plaion! Due to tolerance stack on my particular 2600+, I found that it was necessary to file down some of the plastic ridge, as shown here so that the edge of this capacitor could clear the plastic ridge while installing the new PCB. Until I did this, I couldn’t get it put back together. I only mention this incase it is helpful to other people.

DhaemonX Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 The PCB came to my wife's work today. I'll tackle it later. Can't wait to dig in. Anyone know what dumper version is on it?
