Has anyone had success replacing the COM2 connector on the main board of a
Mac5500 ECG machine? GE sells the connector and while I'm waiting on the
part, I decided to go ahead and desolder the old connector. Had a heck of
a time getting it off the multi-layer board and wouldn't be surprised if I
damaged the board. Fear I'm wasting a lot of time replacing the part and
reassembling just to find out I've created a new problem vs replacing the
whole board in the first place. I guess $12 for the part vs the price of a
new board is worth the effort. Wish GE would figure out a better design
for how the wireless bridge connects to the unit.

Need help replacing the COM2 connector

I have replaced that connector man times. It just takes time. The multi layer boards are sometimes trouble.
