I solder new usb connectors and all manner of other connectors on to stuff all the time.

I’m at a 100% success rate getting data off stuff that just needs new connectors.

If you need data recovered, the literal best case scenario is that it’s just got a bad connector.

Soldering is not the problem, unless its smd or tiny, its getting a non standard usb interface.

you mean in the case of a dead USB ic or something or do you mean the USB port isnt standard?
