1098 Repairs

[Wardo]

This is the 3rd time the relays and caps have gone out on my 1098, I assume it's the relays and caps since it has the same symptoms again. The audio starts cutting out, at the same time I can hear the relays switching and the mode flashing on the screen, then all sound will go away and popping noise on all channels is all I hear.

Instead of a 2.5 month trip to B&W, I'm going to remove the affected board from the receiver and bring it to a local shop and see if someone is willing to put in some new parts for me, I will use the last invoice for a parts list.

I have the receiver pulled apart (I will link to ALL the pictures below) but have a problem getting 2 connectors from the board. One of the connectors is this one:

And this connector:

Does anyone have any ideas how to pull those two connectors off? I've pulled as hard as I'm comfortable with, even pulled with pliers, they aren't budging...

Here is a the link to all the pictures I took if the inside of the 1098, it's quite an impressive machine and a shame no one has developed an upgraded replacement DSP Board yet.

I went about removing that board another way, I wound up pulling the entire processor apart. I'll let ya'll know how the repairs turn out.

Those orange connectors aren't meant to come off. They come off from the other end.
