V380 camera problem

Went to move it from the bird bath over to the cottage garden to monitor Speckles and when I plugged the micro USB cable into the camera connector it broke away and is now rattling around inside the camera housing – bugger.

Gave myself no chance of repairing this one!

Removed the base and the USB PCB socket dropped out onto the work bench. - the tiny mounting legs have broken off. No photo of the actual socket as it's too small (bloody tiny) for the phone camera to focus.

After some thought aligned the socket with the PCB contacts and with a clean solder tip just applied heat to the 5 contacts - as best I could. To test connected the board to the camera and while squeezing the socket to the board plugged in the power pack - it works!

Removed the board and tack glued each end of the USB connector.

As I said gave myself no chance of repair so that is a good outcome.
