Re: DEAD MAXTOR! HELP!

Time for a retrospective abortion |-)
OUch!


Time the plug was pulled on him too.

Did, no givey passwordy on reformatted laptop...


It shouldnt be too hard to fix the USB connector
if you can work out how to get inside the housing.
Getting insideisnt trivial with some housings tho.

yeah, looks like a b...

Is it just the center plastic post thats moved back ?
You may need to have a whole new socket soldered
on. That isnt necesarily going to cost much.
It isnt that hard to replace the USB connector if you can solder.

Me can solder. (see large solder drip scar on thigh, in the shape of
Jesus...)

Its a bit hard to visualise what its like now. Hard to see how you
could have just rammed the center plastic post of the usb female
back into the connector by it falling on that, more likely its driven
the entire connector back into the housing. Can you post a pic easily ?
