Veralite - broken usb port

Community Playground General Discussions

Hi,

I’ve no idea how but the usb port on my veralite got bent up away from the opening in the casing. In trying to get it back into place, its actually broken off and is currently rattling around inside.
Can anyone advise as to opening the casing of the veralite? is it just a case of removing the 3 screws underneath? Would soldering the port back on relatively easy?

Many thanks

The screws and there are clips inside. I only know this because I have done the 5.00 external antenna MOD

This thread is kind of long and pictures and instructions are kind of spread out. But the info you need to open and what it looks like can be found here.

Thanks for that. I’ve outsourced the actual soldering to someone with a steadier hand than mine…
