Here's a picture of the back of the port in case it's needed.

Have you ever soldered before? It might be a little tricky. The holes on the circuit board probably won't fit another kind of port, and you'll probably have to modify the case too.

If it's only power than the electrical bit shouldn't be that tough; only two connections you need to care about. The problem will be that if you attach the new port with small wires or something to get around the footprint difference, you'll have a lot of trouble securing it so that you can plug something in.

Idk actually if micro and mini-usb necessarily have different footprints (same pinout ofc). If they're the same it should be very straightforward. If not, this might not be worth the time.

Might be easier to piggyback the micro usb ontop of the existing port
That way you have the option of charging it with the original cable or with a micro
Will have to carve a little grove on the case though

Here is (You)r dotted line you piece of shit.

Why go full retard? His solution is best and easiest

To OP, you have no skill no knowledge no experience no tools to do the soldering and modding job, you can't, don't be a nigger and get one of these >>1106511

you could use one of those UV plastic soldering things to build up the case plastic around the port

You cannot be serious. Im supposed to assess if its possible with that tiny image?
Youll probably need to drill some of the plastic away if the new port doesnt fit in the case because different shape. Furthermore it looks like its only using three pins that Id guess were power ground and D+ but your tiny ass image makes it hard for me to really tell you something that wont fry your controller. Essentially just resolder the connections you see.

That's still a 5 pin mini usb connector. 3 pins are on top and 2 are tucked underneath. I can't think of any reason to use just the D+ for charging. They might have both D+ and D- both tied to voltage dividers similar to an ios charger. They may also use the ID line. In USB OTG devices it's common to tie it to ground.

IKR? Talk about doing things the pointless way
