so i've got a 4900 that lost green. resoldered every spot on the neck board and it didn't change. noticed when i unintentionally bumped the neck board that various colors came and went. turns out the pin sockets on the neck board appear to be worn out, as gently moving the neck board causes the colors to come back.
i have another neck board off a junker 4900 chassis that i swapped in and it appears to have fixed the issue.
so, how often do sockets go bad like that, and is there anything that can be fixed in the socket?
also, does anyone do neckboard swaps? i searched for it on the forum and couldn't find anything. the part numbers for both boards match so i'm sure i'm fine, just surprised i couldn't find any prior info on it.
