That's a tough one.

It's a common plug and pretty easy to replace if you can solder.

Without knowing the guy you got it from, it's hard to say what you should do though.

I'm glad to hear he's working with you.

That connector on my Mediator is really weak, it doesn't surprise me at all.

Do you know anyone that can solder?  It's a really easy job that should only take a few minutes.

Considering Elbox wants $39 to ship a Mediator CD to the US, your deal may not be so good if it has to go back to them.

It's a 6 pin molex connector

Here is one with a picture.

You can pull one off an old PC/AT motherboard if you have to.

NP, just make sure you don't mount it backwards.  Look around for a picture of how it looks on the board.

The plastic fingers that stick up go closest to the P9 label.

Interesting, I didn't know that.

The zorro and video slot sections should still be Amiga powered, so that shouldn't be a problem.

What PCI cards do you have?

If it's just a network card and a lower power video card, I'd give it a shot and keep looking to add the connector.
