Broken USB Connector

December 12th, 2011, 15:30

Question guys

if you look @ the 2 places where the USB mini goes which is Broken connector

i tried to follow the points trying to solder ext. wires to it, but the problem is that it is too damn tight

even i tried to pull a wire from the 2 points but too damn small hole

my question is: is there any soldering material which fills those empty broken places (brown) ?
or any other technique?


thank you

Hi, I would have thought for recovery purposes you can solder directly to what look like 2x inductors. Not sure what the other component is closer to the 2 broken pads but it might be a ferrite bead.
It dosn't look too hard from here! You just have to use the good magnifying lamp, the correct tip on your iron & a good quality solder. Maybe use kaynor wire though not always necessary.
