Hi guys... sorry back to being On Topic...



Ok.. I have a problem. My USB port fell off. I've had this phone since new and well it's done a good dash, but I still want to keep her alive.

This is what the mboard now looks like...



What are those things as per the pic please?

Here is the USB connector itself...



As you may see, I've tried to re-solder the corners back, but no joy.

I have ordered some micro-USB connectors from eBay (yes Type 2 5 pin, etc), and I really want to fix this phone.

I am hoping all I have to do is align the new USB port with the 5 connectors on the motherboard and with a >>tiniest<< amount of glue or something to hold it in place. Or do I have to solder it?

Thanks for any tips and advice.
