Hi all,
I'm about to set about repairing a Kindle Fire.
The micro B USB had broken away from the board and in the process the pins got busted.
I've a new one on the way, but was wondering if I can get away with just soldering the outside two pins (ground and +5v) so it can be charged using USB only.
Its not mine so I don't know if there are other features provided by USB but it seems to have WiFi so I'm not sure why it would need USB data pins.
The pins are minute and I'd rather not try to solder all 5... if it can be avoided.
