Hi all,
A friend of mine has broken a USB stick that she’s been using for the last 6 years and…of course has no cloud backup. It looks like the USB connection has snapped as she caught the corner of the laptop on the table.
Any soldering heroes out there that have some time in a couple of weeks?
The flash memory looks missing. Pics of other side?
I don’t have a pic, but it’s definitely just the usb connector that’s come off and needs soldering back on. Know if this is an easy job for someone to do?
It’s essentially a 2 minute repair. Just need a donor usb plug really.

Great! Just bought one. Any chance I can call on you in a couple of weeks time to give me hand?
No. But there is a Thursday night electronics where there is likely to be someone else who will lend a hand.
Thanks. Really appreciate the help. I’ll head over one Thurs with the shards of my friends digital memories!
I’ll be there today from midday till probably quite late if you want to bring the stick
Cheers Howard. Only just saw this (need to get my push notifications fixed). My mate hasn’t handed over the usb yet, so it’ll have to be some time next week. I’ll come a week on Thurs or message in this chat again on the off chance you’ll be in on another day.
Cool
i’m looking to be about later for Electronics night so can help if Howard’s not got it fixed before

Cheers Courty. I’ll head over next Thurs.
Heads up - afraid I can’t make it tonight, but I’ll be in the space on Sunday
Bump! Anyone going to be in the space tonight?
