Hello.

I’m leaning to the power pole replacement. Mine has it since 2010
without a hitch. Not too difficult to do.

With the pigtail soldered to the board, I would be afraid
that something could drop on the cable and break off a land
on the board. You’d need to provide strain relief.

Solder the power cable directly to the board without the molex connector - or - do the power pole replacement? I'm leaning to the direct wire mod.
