    Default Broken USB port on MPD32 - help on where to buy spare part

    Hey guys. I was stupid and put my mpd32 in a bag with the usb cord still attached, and it made the whole port get unstuck. My friend opened it up for me and the port itself is broken, so we removed it from the circuit board for now. My question is, where could I buy a new one to solder onto the board?

    don't know which though. . .

    Or, if you want to upgrade the connection. . .

    But for this one, you'd have to know the posts/leads to solder directly, find something online that can connect to the A end of the USB connectore for the above piece.

    The first is a vertical mount unit, the second is horizontal.
    Grab the second if the board is aligned with the floor of the controller.

    If you've got trouble soldering stuff, drop a picture here and I'll be happy to give you a hand

    Happy hacking!
