The 6930p is old fleet gear that still appears on benches. DC jacks loosen, paste dries, and docking connectors get bent.
Top issues
- Intermittent power → DC jack / motherboard solder cracks.
- Thermal throttle → clean fan, new paste.
- No POST after dock use → inspect dock connector pins.
Safety notes
These boards use leaded/leaded-process era parts—use proper soldering heat profiles if you rework jacks.
