Post by: SirElefantbarn on Wed, 13 August 2014, 08:56:13

Yo guys, I accidently dropped my Poker II keyboard while it was still connected to my computer and the USB port fell of, is there anyway I can fix this on my own or should I try to get some help?

Yeah, it doesn't appear that any traces were pulled off the PCB, so it could be soldered back on without much difficulty.
