[WP 34S] I finally bricked it :-(

For this reason I have chosen to equip my WP-34S calculators with a "SOLID" flashing connector. One of my calculators uses Harald Pott's internal micro USB board, and the other two have a 2.5mm headphone jack glued down with epoxy. I feel that the "Pogo Pin" programmers are prone to lost or flaky connections if you move the cable during flashing unless you are lucky enough to own one of the original factory made programming cables which are designed to lock into place and permit NO-WIGGLE or alignment issues.
With these ROCK SOLID connections I can rest assured that the programming cycle will not be interrupted by a poorly connecting pogo pin connection.
