Quite a while ago I dropped by tablet with a USB cable connected.
As far as I can tell it landed on the USB connector and pushed the USB

connect.

I don't want to take the back off because the chance of doing permanent
damage outweighs the gain from restoring the USB connector.

I'd say it would depend on whether the connector has broken off the PCB.
Quite likely, I'd say.

Agreed. It would be an unusual one that *wasnt* PCB mounted.

I would probably still try sacrificing a micro-USB cable/plug by trimming
it down.


Most laptops ain't that difficult to strip down - you'll often find a
U-Tube on doing it for common models. At least then you could assess the
damage.


Tablets rather more difficult I imagine. More glue, fewer screws. That
said, quite a few high street places advertise screen and other repairs for
tablets so it cant be *that* difficult.
