pax 3 charge connector insert key

if trying to fix your pax 3 charge problem you may need the plastic part surrounding the charge connector. its almost impossible to remove it without breaking it!

drill out an edge of the plastic on the charge connector

(use a fine screw driver to lever out)

slide the inside out (push the oven end)

remove the remaining plastic from the pax internals - not a two prong metal spring that 'clips' the charge connector

remove the two metal pins and dont lose them!

I used a 1mm drill to dril out the pilot holes in the part

hold the part with pliers while inserting the two metal pins into the drilled holes

use a spatula heated over a flame to push flat the pin heads

push the pax internals back into the metal tube (mouth piece first)

line up the charge connector cut out with the connections on the internals

push the part into the window -- the edge first against the two prong of the metal spring

a firm push down on a hard surface and it should clip firmly
