  • I've just tried holding the USB down against the board with the cable plugged in and it charges.

    So that means:

    1. the pins are aok
      2.it's the mounting points/feet that's fucked
    2. A friction fit can make it work.


    I am thinking if I can resolder the feet it should work. Then connect a pigtail to move the plugging and unplugging away from the port.

    I did wonder about super glue instead of solder as it removes the risk of heat. But that can be messy. Although I guess I'd just clean it up with acatate(sp?).

  • Good that it works. Pigtail sounds like a plan. I'd flux and solder and then when it is confirmed working cover it in epoxy.
