I am looking at repairing a micro-USB port that has come loose on a very expensive piece of flight simulation hardware. The alternative is to ship up a 50lb unit and ship it back to the manufacturer, which is very expensive (but still an option if my repair does not work).
I've ordered these new micro-USB ports and this soldering kit and this solder wire from Amazon, and hoping this will be enough to solder a new micro-USB port to the board.
Here is a photo of the board I'll be looking to attach the new port to:
Any suggestions on a) whether this is likely to work and b) tips on how do to it successfully? I haven't soldered anything since I was a kid, so I am a bit rusty.
