Replaced the USB port on my GSM Nexus, all went pretty well. The ifixit and Youtube vids refer to the Verizon model which is a little different. On the GSM model either the solder joints on the volume switch have to be broken and resoldered (Which I chose to do) . Or they say Power switch can be popped free.
So I have to get a different Solder iron, since mine is not designed for circuit boards. I put it all back together and it charges again on any of my many cables. I'll use a volume widget to adjust volume until I get the proper tools to Solder it. I am going to try to solder 2 1" small gauge wires on and see if that works. Then it will allow a little wiggle room.
Total cost for the part was $8 shipped from ebay. It takes an hour or 2 to take apart and get it back together. After doing it once it takes about 20Min if you have to do it again. I had it back together again in 5 Min. Most of the time was spent fussing over what to pry apart.
I'll be checking my other forums (OCForums) for a recommended iron....
