Hello everyone! I need a bit of help/advice from someone with more experience with the Barco 808 series.
So I actually got around to opening up my Cine 8 Onyx. Set approximate ok position on the ground for the moment, just to see whereabouts I would want it mounted on the ceiling. Might as well set the scan switches so I can actually do a quick-setup, but at least read what's on screen right? Horizontal switches all click nice. I pull the port3 board, and find that the vertical scan switch's spring is being held by only the mercy of god.
After squeezing the end of the spring much tighter so it would sit behind the retaining tab tight (whoever invented this type of switch and used that big a spring without a C-clip on the switch shaft... well... let's just say this is a common problem on this type of switch) and the better part of an hour of battling to put the spring back without having to remove the entire motherboard... I noticed the little metal wireform is missing from the switch that would allow it to stop in the pressed position...
I never actually had to replace this little wireform toggle (or whatever you call it), so I am not sure what the exact shape of it is. I can fold a replacement, no problem, but I am suspecting it is not a simple U shape, but one end is longer and actually goes through the switch shaft and folds to the side to hold it in place ? Anyone have any experience with this? Please tell me I can do this without having to desolder the switch.
If I do have to desolder it, is it possible to get access to the bottom of the motherboard without having to pull the entire board out? I don't really want to roll this machine over as the black is painted, and my other barco is on the ceiling.
Thanks for any help!
