Wire popped out of the Jamma Plug
Malenko:
strip the wire a little and wedge it between the pin and the plastic; it should be fine as long as you dont rock the machine , heh
I only advise against soldering to the board because it makes swapping games exceedingly difficult
Kevin Mullins:
There is a tab between the pin and the plastic that you need to depress.
They make a special tool for it, but I use a VERY small pin punch to poke in between them.
Unplug the harness and look down through it from the side that plugs in to the board.
dieseldogpi:
k, thanks
RayB:
Use one of those tiny screw drivers for eye glasses, use it to squeeze the pin and push it out.
bkenobi:
Those plugs are easy to bend too far (if they are anything like standard DB style ones). Once you get it out, you may have to bend it back to the right shape. Be careful not to over do it though as the metal could fatigue and break off. If that happens, the plug won't stay in place and you will need a new one.
