cserret Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I broke the rp-sma connector on the back of the device. What is the length of rp-sma pigtail I need to get, in order to repair it with? I see like 2in, 4in, 6in, etc. are available to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a read here, it probably just clicked out of place - you can fix that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cserret Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 oh ok. The middle pin is still there. It was a bit bent when I inspected it after "the accident". The female part (with threads that is part of the device) that the antenna screws into popped off with the antenna cable's connector. I did press it in, and it did seem to "click" in. But, its very easy to pop out. I straightened the pin, but I cant tighten the antenna connection too much, cause it'll just pop off taking the female housing with it again. I thought of applying a bit of conductive epoxy to it so it doesn't pop off so easily. However, with the antenna not tightened "too much" - the miner seems to be working fine. I just gotta make sure nothing touches the antenna cable, cause it'll probably snap right off. As long as its working, I'm not gonna mess with it.
