Teared out the central pin on my SVD while trying to fix its o-ring issue

[pomme]

Hello,

This is my third post.

The other day, i started to experience the red led issue on my svd. When I tried to pull the connector pin up to replace its o-ring, i went to far and teared the pin out completely.

Looking to see if that has happened to others and if any were successful in fixing (solder?) it. To add to my experience, the original o-ring went inside and does not seem to be visible anymore. Anyone has opened the svd ?

All comments are welcome.

Thanks

update: i had an idea where I think i will be using sugru (kind of a rubber that cures semie-rigid) and try to seal the central pin on my broken svd. once I'll be done, I will post my comment on this afterward. The hard thing that I will have to acheive first will be to pry-open the top part of the svp since both the wire and the original 0-ring are inside now.
