So now the suits are happy we can look at this issue in hand. iLogix Computer Solutions were contacted by a customer with a broken micro USB port on his Gett-Fitt Infrared Controller. On inspection iLogix Computer Solutions found that the port has completely broken off and the pads under the port pins had torn away from the circuit board.
iLogix Computer Solutions stock thousands of parts and micro USB ports are one such item. Not all ports are the same, the legs, dimensions and pins all vary to a degree, however, iLogix Computer Solutions had an identical port in stock.
The first thing to do when repairing an electronic circuit is disconnect any power source. In this case we desolder the battery and remove the board from the plastic case to avoid melting it.
By grinding part of the trace on the board we can solder a bridge between the pins that make contact with the missing pad and and the trace that connects the components.
Once this is in place we can fit the new micro USB port and resolder it. Once done we clean the board with some IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) and return the board to the case and resolder the battery contacts.
After connecting the device to a micro USB power source we now see the unit is charging.
Nice !!
