USB hardware issue

Are any of you guys good with hardware isues? I have an Asus eeepc 1005peb with loose Usb ports. My question is is how dificult is it to re solder the conections I'd like to avoid getting a new motherboard if possible.

Shouldn't be too difficult provided the leads aren't broken, and even then it may be possible to bodge them back together. You'll need an iron with a medium-sized tip.

If you have to ask then I'm assuming you've never soldered anything before. If thats the case I would get some various sized tips and a decent iron, and study up a bit on techniques before you make the attempt.  When you first start it can be damn frustrating at how easy it LOOKS like it should be, but then ends up needing a lot more finesse then you have as a nooblet :laugh:

I've found that soldering small things, like usb ports and charging ports on phones/tablets can be a real pain in the ass. You want to practice on something you don't mind screwing up first. Make sure you have an iron that gets plenty hot (I have used ones that would reach upwards of 700 degrees if I remember correctly). Flux and isopropyl alcohol work wonders. Whatever you do, for the love of god, mind the traces on the motherboard. You screw that up and that port is done for  :tombstone:

Yeah, that's the primary reason why you want the iron to be hot, but not too hot. Too hot and the traces will separate from the pcb!
