Have anyboby repaired a rear panel SPDIF connector of the MD desk? I have ealier made some electronic bobbies, but now I do not know exactly what kind of task is awaiting me. My MD desk is Sony MDJ-JE770, and its optical receiver does not work. I could change it to a new one. Should I have had some specific (pressing?) tools or methods, e.g. in fastening red laser to a new panel SPDIF connector? Of course, I will take my md deck to some professional service, if specific problems appears. I would be very greatful for any help. Tese
