I broke the LPC firmware micro-usb port on my Reform machine. Is it repairable? I could not get my other machine to see the Reform LPC firmware drive, and I attempted to wake the LPC on the other side via the keyboard, while the USB cable was still plugged at the bottom…
well the 5 pads and traces of the micro usb port itself seem fine, so it’d be just a matter of cleaning the pads and soldering in a new port. a fine soldering tip and patience will do it. the big three pads there should only be there for stability, so one missing isnt a big problem.
As you can see, the pad that got ripped off is just GND == ground. It’s not connected to anything important and only there for stability. Should be fixable.
