Tetroid 5V replacement module didn't fit into the QL

[thesithlord]

Hi everybody,

I bought a few things for my QL, one was the replacement module. This didn't fit.

any Tips?
Thx

Hmm - you have a US QL (or at least a Samsung one) which has that weird round magnet (?) by the power connector... Tetroid probably does not have that version of the motherboard.

What doesn't fit? Is it the microdrive regulator that is in the way - I can't see the problem on the photo

It's the ring that blocks to fit it:



and it seems that it can't be removed or is there a possibility?

[RWAP]

Dave on here is probably the best one to answer that....

Tetroid is also on these forums - he needs to take a look and probably needs to change his design

[thesithlord]

Maybe somebody has a manual to remove the magnetic ring and wires without breaking the QL?

I am sorry about this problem.

Yes, this is my mistake.

I did not have this QL version.

Nobody did not inform me about this problem early.

I need redesign the QL power.
