Disassembly and troubleshooting video line connections on the Ultra 2

What the thread found

  • The stage must be removed first, followed by the forward tilt head lock to access the screws containing the video line connections.
  • Video line connections are located inside the top post within a connection block with inline connectors.
  • The shrink wrap around video connectors can be cut to access the connections for inspection or repair.
  • Reassembly requires new shrink tubing and thin cord such as dental floss to secure the connection block.
  • Later model versions feature an upgraded design without a connector in the post.
  • Intermittent image loss without signal degradation may indicate loose or corroded BNC Female connectors that can be tightened with needle nose pliers or replaced.

Depends on

  • Only confirmed to work on the Ultra 2 model.
  • The disassembly procedure and connector issues may not apply to all production revisions.
  • No details provided on specific tools needed beyond needle nose pliers.
  • The shrink tubing replacement requirement varies by model revision.
