Nikon Coolscan 9000 - don't damage this connector!
This is one of the most common failures which occurs during DIY servicing the Coolscan 9000. Result can be a damaged connector and a worthless scanner. In german, das ist der Super GAU ... Repairing is difficult and maybe impossible. (does not apply to Coolscan 8000, here another cable connection is used) For showing the point of interest my camera position was a bit uncomfortable for acting, explains my clumsy screw driver handling. After watching be aware, don't pull the locking strip completely out of the connector, it must stay in place, otherwise it will break. Do you know a better and safer method for pulling out this strip? Write a comment below, thanks!
