Hi all my brother had a great idea of fixing these micro USB connections on the x10i phone.
Its a common problem and he has purchased a load of the micro USB connectors so I can remove the old one and fit the new ones.
Problem is how the bloody hell do you remove these things there horrible.
I can only imagine the whole assembly is heated and it melts the solder in one go because there is all so pads under the connector you cant get to to actually heat up the solder.
Some one said about wave soldering? I have no idea what that is.
Can I use a small butane torche as long as I protect the rest of the components?.
Here is the device and main board less the bloody pads I tore off
