Usb port on mp4 player, spare parts
 

Hello! I need help
I have a mp4 player 1.8 display 2gb, sort of this
http://tinyurl.com/2njmea (actually its a little bit different)
The problem is that the data-port on my mp4 player is brocken.
For data port i mean the port on the player where you plug the usb cable for charging or connecting to computer.
It looks like mini usb but it's not mini usb. It has 4 pin.
In my device, it came out (and remained attached to the cable) and 2 of the pins are brocken so i cant solder it back to the main board.
Do you know how could i find that kind of "mini usb like" port?
And what could I use it to solder it, since it's so small?

phaelon , it would be quite difficult to find such connectors. However, you can try your local electronics store and see if they do stock up on such connectors.

Another alternative would be to contact your seller for an exchange if it is still under warranty.

If the contact point is very small, you'll probably need a soldering iron with a fine tip. Usually those used for manual soldering of SMDs. These tips are inter-changeable.

i have such USB connector...
if u will come in Croatia :-) i can give you one for free.. also i'll change that for you on player...
