You dont need old Usb-Mini B cables anymore, just replace the receptacle from your device with the usual Micro B. Micro USB port repair without Hot Air.
* please give the link to purchase that "micro USB port" and also give specifications (tech spec sheets) of both the USB ports ( MINI and MICRO ) for comparison. I want to replace that mini usb port on my Arduino Nano. Thanks.
I probably would have just made a mini usb to micro usb wire or just bought one on ebay, but I commend you for making one yourself, my hands are way too shaky :/
The receptacle of USB-mini B is bigger than the Micro B, and in this board the GND signal was using the shield of connector to connect the GND signal to the resto of the board. At 5:00, you can see the GND pin isolated, with one small island. To fix that, I put a small jumper between the two legs pads of original Mini B shield.
Ok. 1. Ever heard of tweezers? 2. Ever heard of hot glue? 3. Have you heard of 1 & 2?! Personally, I would have hot glued the underside of the USB port into place first (and yes your wires are ok but I would have soldered ontop of the connectors). Secondly, I would have To be sure it's in place, solder a blob onto the two side connectors first and then with tweezers hold it in place and hot press onto the side connectors, and with the glue in the middle. Boom.. no more movement. Then solder over the lot of the 5 connectors and remove with solder-remover and that would have left only the prongs soldered on. Done

The sound is hilarious. Sounds like a bunch of mice at the beginning and then they end up in a tiny Nascar race.
Hahaha, You got me! Sorry, next time I will add some background music. Maybe: Blue Skies - Silent Partner?
jk :D
Thank you for confirming that the sound problem is not on my end! Pulse Audio is a bitch.
You should really buy a hot air station it will make your work a lot easier
Can I do this but change it to USB c?
Useful video..

Thank you so much❤
Awesome... Now I can do it on my Arduino Nano....
Did it worked on Arduino nano
@@zerxies1 Yes...
I did same on Nano Thanks
Not bad for using a soldering iron. Does it still work?
Yes, I also replaced the USB connector on my PS3 controller and some older mp3 player. :)
Gostei 😃👏

good
Solder Wick will significantly make de-soldering easier. It is Cheap on ebay as low as $0.74 Cents USD total price
Faz um de mini usb para usb C
You should try using a rework machine with a hot air gun on it just place your solder on the board heat the spot up and set it on.
I tried show how to do it with solder iron. It is not the best option, but anyone can do it.
😉👍
That's why they invented glue!
Glue won't last long, soldering is the only way to make a durable - secure connection
Archana Majumdar don't mind him, I think he is not one of solder warrior
you could use some hot glue to reinforce the connector too.
by a heat gun that melts it on higher temperature that makes a tougher connection
now do two more with micro and mini usb to usb type-c!
It’s the same method for usbc
at 6:10 what wire did you put there and what's the purpose ?

is he using chip quik
Algum brasileiro por aqui??
But why? Mini USB is way better.
Way outdated and don't want cables from all types on my desk. I am already thinking in swap Micro B for Type-C to keep only one cable at desk.

Then make a video

Mini usb socket is mich better and more durable than micro usb (one of the worst sockets ever made).
