Oh no....while pulling my BS2 out of its socket, I bent several of the pins.· Trying to straighten them out ended up with pin 1 breaking off. freaked.gif

Does anyone know of a way to replace/repair the pins short of replacing the whole $49 unit? cry.gif

    Hello,



    Send me your name and shipping·address to: dandreae@parallax.com and include the topic and I will send you a couple of legs that you can solder on for replacement.· If this doesn't work for you, we can·offer·you a·half price replacement BASIC Stamp by having you send in your damaged stamp.



    Regards,



    Dave

    You can also clip off all the damaged legs and solder the stamp into a spare 24-pin socket. I did this with a BS2 I accidentally damaged and it works fine.
