I just went to plug in a USB cable to the soltek board I successfully recapped, to find that the plug didn't stay in.
Now I notice that the middle plastic bit is missing and the pins are bent.
I can easily scavenge a new port off a scrap motherboard, but the question is how to desolder a new one without damaging it, and how to remove the broken one without ruining the board?
Obviously there's more pins than a capacitor, not going to get away with the same removal method...
