Finally got to refill my new green tube with glycol last night, no leaks as of this morning, after work I intend to put the tube back in and setup the projector.

However, I understand that I will need to do a mod to my neck board. Old tube was an LPB03, new tube is an LCP09.

Is it just as simple as putting a jumper between pins 2 and 6? Also, pins 1 and 2 are under a plastic cover, not extending out the back of the PCB. Will I have any noise issues with a long jumper from the back to the front of the neck card?

I found the following pinouts which suggest to me that a jumper between 2 and 6 would give me the missing G2 I need at pin 2:

Yes, jumper pin 2 to 6, that should do it.

Hi,

You are correct. I don't think that there will be any noise issue with the jumper wire. On the Marquee the G2 connection is always done with a single wire and a connector that goes straight to the tube's G2 input pin...

Thanks for the confirmation!

Unfortunately, my neck boards do not have pins 1 and 2 exposed on the rear of the PCB, they are hidden under a cover on the socket itself, on the front side of the PCB. Kinda hard to explain without a picture...

You can remove (or make a little hole) in the cover of the socket, see the pictures below.
There's an extra pin 2 where you can solder a wire.

Right, that's exactly where I tapped into pin 2, it's the only location to do so.

There are already holes at the back (by the hinged part) of the cover to run a jumper wire out when you close it back up.
