    Where would I find the right one? I tried to search electronic supplier like Digikey but there are many different versions of 9 pin mini DIN port, all with different pin position and location. I was wondering if any of you had a handy link or part # for a port that has the correct pin position for Megadrive and Genesis 2, 3, and 32X, as well as X'Eye

    I melted mine by accident when my soldering iron fell on it and I didn't notice for a few seconds. Nothing lines up right anymore. :(

    By coursory glance at my NOMAD, it looks to be a pretty custom port. best place is; ask for a broken sega. gen. in the WTB section.
    You can probably find a replacement port on digikey, but weather or not it mates to the mohterboard in the same configuration is another story.
    I'm wondering if you can salvage your old port? If you don't care about the retro look you can also solder female 2" av wires directly to the motherboard.


    Also for $15.45 you can have the guaranteed right part:

    I have them instock, but if you order just those from me - you would pay more than ApolloBoy's link (due to shipping). If you are ordering other stuff as well, then its cheaper.

    Can confirm these are correct. They also sell the plug if you are so inclined.
