Accidentally Broke VCI-100 USB Connector

[aptiva]

Sorry again for the delay!
The bottom of the board doesn't look anything out of the ordinary.
I ordered the connector kaleaf linked me to (thanks man)
I'll see if I still have any usable solder heads and take it to a pro if I don't.
I'll post here with results^^

I hope my suffering will help someone else n_n

Hey man I broke my USB connector too and now im just waiting for the part to come in the mail so I can solder it on. I have a question!

Someone on the forum sent me a link to this connector to buy. Is it the correct one I need because I was told there are different types??

Also I have a little bit of slodering experiece from my inro to circuits in school but I was wondering how you went about soldering it on? Anything I should keep in mind. Im a noob to that kind of stuff I don't want to f everything up.

I can´t see the pin layout on that connector, but I assume it's pretty standardized (it should have 4 pins on the bottom near the back)

when we removed the old one we just made sure to completely remove the old solder and then cleaned the area before putting in the new one, it was pretty trivial really.

I did the same thing while drunk, I replaced the USB connector but now I can't remember what wires go in what slots... can anyone help? Pictures would be awesome but pictures with a legend to show what slot each connect goes into would be awesome... My email is Eno_9231@hotmail.com

glad you got your issue sorted. one of the pins inside my USB receptacle broke a few days ago and i was freaking out because i have a gig in a few days. glad to find out it's a relatively simple fix!!
