Any kits?

Usually happens with memory, but I just dropped and messed up a modem

The micro usb connector broke off in my GPS unit due to flexing of no-
lead solder joints, was able to wick off the no-lead and use leaded to
fix it. Also hit a SAN DISK unit still plugged into the front of my
tower PC causing it to fail by lifting the lands from the board. That
required a few pieces of 30ga wire from the outer pins to a nearby cap
and some finer 40ga magnet wire to connect the D+/D- lines to the
controller chip. Tedious job but it works now.
