Kindle USB Port Repair

Replacing the USB port and adding connecting wires on a Kindle. I had previously repaired this a couple of years ago, the pads on the PCB had gotten lifted by the movement when the USB lead was plugged in and removed but now the port itself has gotten worn out.

This is excellent. I knew a microscope would be essential but it's the first time I've seen a set of electronics files.

Thanks for the detailed video! 😃👍

Can you please tell me what part number you used for this micro usb socket?

[@kazzle101]

I searched eBay for the part, something like "kindle usb port".

[@barney286]

Do you have an email address that I can contact you please? I have exactly the same problem, but it is beyond my skills.

Lol. Great work but not worth it on that cheap junk.

[@ajayjust2626]

It saves having to discard something that otherwise works fine.

Why not?
If you got the time? The port doesn't cost a lot and a new kindle would be way more expensive.
It's just sad how some people just go really full into throwing away good stuff.
A real problem with today's society. 🙈
