From almost day one of owning this computer I've had trouble with this power connector on the mother board. I wiggled it a lot back in the day. Time to fix it correctly as the wiggling doesn't work anymore. Note the dark discoloration on the connector. Can you help me identify this connector? Expand the image to see measurements. The pitch is 3.96mm. I bought this connector from Jameco. It has the correct pin pitch and could work with some soldering, crimping and splicing. However I would like to replace with the correct part.
