Soldering USB Transceiver

apatey90 · Jul 30, 2013

Hi all,

I am a newbie to electronics and rather than buying a new keyboard/mouse I'd like to try to fix my transceiver that I stupidly walked into and broke - hopefully using some basic soldering equipment. I will post some pictures of what I have in a moment.

Hope it's possible to get it fixed? I can't see where it might need soldering? Maybe its just dead? What do you think?

Thanks all,
Kevin

it does not look like anything needs soldering, the casing has come away, you need to crimp it all back together with some pliers.

Get an USB cable with PC end intact, cut the other end and solder the wires directly onto the PCB of your transceiver. Use an ohmmeter to see which wire of the cable goes where.

You should be able to solder the edges if you can get the pins to line up on the plastic spacer correctly inside the metal usb connector. Maybe super glue the pins to the plastic part inside the connector.
Keep in mind that the entire out side metal connector is the ground. So if any pins or wires touch the metal outside it will short out.

I would get a usb cable and cut it with about 1/2inch of wire. Then you can solder the wires to the board, and tape it up.
