Message: [QUOTE="Gourockian, post: 247434, member: 6682"] Okay, that sounds like it may be a relatively easy fix. I would start by obtaining a new USB Type B socket like this but please note, this link is actually for 5 pieces. I didn't spend any time checking for better prices but these are far cheaper than a new PCB and they are readily available.

Carefully solder individual wires to the new socket and leave enough to be soldered to the exposed tracks. Make sure they match the original wiring configuration. Don't worry too much if the new socket attachment lugs don't match the old ones. Once the wires are soldered to the socket, it can be epoxied into place but before doing this, it would be wise to make sure everything works first. Hope this helps. Al [/QUOTE]
