My stereo powers on and off frequently. Initially thought some Butt connectors were bad to the power. Replaced all connections going to 16 pin plug. Still shorting. The local shop tells me it is the female receptacle on the stereo chasis that is probably causing the short. Claims they see it all of the time on this model. How difficult is it to re-solder the chasis plug connectors? Any suggestions on how I go about doing it?
Open unit to point of seeing the connector in question. turn pcb over to reveal the pins soldered to board. Simply using a hot solder iron and flux-core solder (and you properly grounded using wrist strap), proceed to re-solder each pin's solder joint. Additionally, to prevent this same broken solder joint problem again, use strong epoxy and apply to gaps between connector and pcb to prevent connector from "rocking" back and forth during cable installation.

ok, I submit a solution that I believe covers your problem and all I get is an "almost there"? What else can I say? How about "How difficult is it to re-solder the chassis plug connectors?...answer is: extremely difficult for a beginner and easy for an expert. next: "Any suggestions on how I go about doing it?" answer is..."open unit to point of seeing the connector in question. turn pcb over to reveal the pins soldered to board. Simply using a hot solder iron and flux-core solder (and you properly grounded using wrist strap), proceed to re-solder each pin's solder joint. Additionally, to prevent this same broken solder joint problem again, use strong epoxy and apply to gaps between connector and pcb to prevent connector from "rocking" back and forth during cable installation." There is not much more to cover here...this is an easy question answer session and I think almost there leaves me to believe I must supply more info...but what?
ok,
when you said "Your information was absolutely correct on how to resolve the problem I presented"...can you then change the rating to SOLVED from "almost there"? I appreciate your honset response.

Usually answered in minutes!
I used "almost there", because I hadn't completely solved my issue. The soldering was pretty easy to get too as long as you can prop open the stereo. I soldered all of the points, but to no avail. I am still getting a short somewhere. I am new to this chat room/blog so I am not certain about the meaning of responses. Your information was absolutely correct on how to resolve the problem I presented, but my stereo must be having some other issue. Sorry for the incomplete response before.
