Tim,
I can not offer you any technical assistance on your question about the 20-pin connector. You might check the message archives for some help. Do a search enter 20-pin connector and see if any messages come up that can afford you some information if you havent already done that. I know that Syntaur Productions recommends two different companies for any type repairs one might need on VFX or SD1 units. It is expensive (about $80 an hour). If no one here can shed any light on your problem, perhaps you could at least call one of those companies for some info or advice. Here is a link to Syntaurs site and the web page to which I refer.

Seems like I have seen something on a message posted here about someone doing repairs in California but I am not sure. May have dreamed that.
Sorry thats about all I can offer on your problem. Hopefully someone with some technical expertise on this subject will respond to your question.
Alan

My VFXsd has the 20 pin connector on the coil boards (2 rows of
10 each side). Can these be jumped like the 12 pin connectors.
The service bulletin flow chart has you send 20 pin boards back
to the shop instead of jumping them- any tricks out there?
