Managed to replace the USB C port on my laptop that wasn’t charging anymore, smallest pins done yet! 5

Industrial maintenance sparkie by trade and have never soldered anything smaller then 8SOIC pins. My personal laptop started to stop charging unless the port was bent to the perfect position and I figured I might as well give replacing the USB C connector a shot and try and save myself 3 grand. Surprised it actually worked.

  1. It’s amazing what you can do with an inexpensive soldering iron, a magnifier, and lots of flux.

    Kudos!

  2. I hate USB-C

    It’s too flaky

  3. Wow, amazing work. Looks tough
