    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.
