Hi All,

My slot one gives me a hard time. It does not see the cartridge I insert. Only after forceful and repeated inserts, the slot suddenly comes alive, sort-off. When I insert my Philips module (or carnivore) I get no sound, but the rest seems to work.

Although the 8250 is a big box, taking out the connectors is still not easy. So any hints/tips/clues?
Thanks

You could clean the connector. Have a creditcard, cut a piece of printer paper and fold it around the card. Then spray some alcohol on it and stick it in and out of the connector (straight in and straight out). You'll probably see dark stripes on the paper when you pull it out, and that was the problem.
Better not use kitchen paper because the connector might cut small pieces off which could stick inside. That's undesirable.

While at it, it wouldn't hurt to clean the cartridges as well. Alcohol on a q tip would do. Rub it until there's no black coming off of it anymore.

Well did that, looked at the connectors: you can see the copper shine, still the same problem. But thanks. This kind of behaviour makes me think of contacts connecting or just not connecting.

My preferred solution for false contact problems is multi-purpose lubricant oil spray. Works like a charm in most cases.

Note however it could be a soldering that went loose.
