So, ordered a T-Deck Plus a while ago, it arrived, I excitedly played with it, then decided to install an external antenna for better reception. I watched a couple of YouTube videos, carefully prised it apart, long story short somehow manage to snap off the centre pin of the IPX/U.FL antenna connector on the board… What is most surprising and frustrating is that I’m no noob with these connectors - I have run my own Mac/PC repair store for over 17 years at this point, and I’ve connected and disconnected these innumerable times as they’re used for antenna connections on WiFi cards.

Well, I have now watched some videos on YouTube showing methods of replacing these, and this approach looks good.

I’m awaiting a 10 pack of replacement connectors I’ve ordered, and will update when I tackle swapping this. Wish me luck!

Currently listening: LITTLE BIG – “KURWA” - another catchy banger from these weirdos! :)
