Bent pin in PCMCIA slot on 3400

2006-01-23 Thread Matthew S. Carpenter

Hi,

I have a problem.  I need to be able to use both pcmcia slots on my 3400 
at a time...  but I just found out that the lower one has a bent pin in 
it... and I'm not really sure how to get into the pcmcia slots to bend 
it back. 

I have replaced the hard drive in this comptuer so I know how to 
dissasemble it to a point.. but I do not know how to get the sheilding 
off the pcmcia slots so I can get in there to attempt to bend the pin back.


-Matt

This should help you if the 3400 is anything like the 190/5300.

 To remove the shielding, first you need to remove the logic board, and 
then you should notice some silver tabs sticking through on the bottom 
of it, around the edges of the shielding. Bend these tabs to where 
they're straight and remove the shielding. To replace the shielding, 
line up the tabs, press them through and bend them down.


Hope this helps,
Caleb
