Quoted from mark532011:thanks guys, I will spend some more time this weekend. Its possible the new board is bad but not likely. I may have to redo the connectors again.. anyone know where you can get 28-pin connectors? Marcos is always out of stock
You can reuse your old connector housing.
use an ice-pick, or an awl to push down on the pin's tab. Then you can easily pull the pin out by the wire.
Clip off the old pin, strip the end, and crimp on a new pin. Slide in until you hear the click.
Do this one at a time. I like to mark with a felt-tip pen the unpopulated spaces, so as not to lose track of which pin goes where.
