Broken USB port

#1 Post by jwhpa » Thu May 19, 2005 6:15 am

I recently bought a T40 off eBay. Yesterday, I realized one of the USB ports is broken. The central plastic tongue is gone making the port non-functional. How complex is it to replace a USB port.
Thanks,
JH

I believe the usb port is connected to the main board you would need to replace the whole motherboard :(

this happened to me after having read about it, so i'm certain it's a weakness of the design ... new systemboard installation via overnight mail is in your future
