The connectors are very tight, Mike, especially when mating them for the first time.
Are the connectors on the bottom of the RF board mating properly with the connectors on the front panel assembly (not offset to one side or the other by a pin)? They're shown in Fig 59 of the Rev E assy manual. Is the screw out of the 2D fastener (Fig 60 of the Rev E assy manual)? It tends to hang up on the edge of the main DSP board near the mic connector if it's in place when mounting the FP assy.

The problem appears to be the plug behind the mic connector (p50) not wanting to mate. Pins appear to be straight and equally spaced like the other side. Very frustrating in that you cant see thru the RF board or shield to see what is preventing the connection. From the side (mic connector end) I can see that the pins appear to line up, as well as, thru the hole in the RF board on the inside end of the plug. But still NO GO after several attempts. Any suggestions? Mike, AC5P
