In Reply to: Also, make sure the unit is off, unplugged, and has sat for while to discharge, otherwise, OUCH!!! nt posted by Dman on April 25, 2007 at 15:39:26:
Prying the metal collars/contacts inside the socket holes is NOT a good idea unless you know more about the sockets. Some of them are really cheaply made and the copper is thin or brittle. It breaks. Then you are really up s-it creek without a paddle and skip the next para.I have been through the mill with floppy tubes. The first cheap things to do are: clean the pins, bend the pins a bit for a tighter fit (also dangerous), stuff socket holes with tiny pieces of alum. foil. (Be sure to put tape over the center hole if there is one).
The best and most expensive thing to do: get a good technician to replace the sockets with better ones that have smaller, springier, collars/contacts.
Floppy tubes suck, man.
