    I recently did some major repairs to an MT3708, and everything went well right up until the last step. I am having a heck of a time getting those little connectors back onto the card. Is there some secret? I don't want to use a ton on pressure for fear of breaking something. Is there some sort of secret to getting them to snap into place? They are so small I can't realy see what type of connector they are. Are they like a 9v battery?

    Thanks,
    Jim.

    It does take a good bit of pressure to get them back on. Just try to support the card from the back while pushing down quite a bit. No real tricks other than maybe rotating the wire slightly while pushing down.

    Well, I pushed, and wound up breaking the connnector off of the card, woops :D I think most of it is because I reallly can't see too well, so I went online and purchased a new card, thank goodness they are only a few bucks, and a magnifying lighted visor assembly. I guess that's just one of those things you have to deal when you start getting old.

    Thanks,
    Jim.
