bent iPod sync port
 

The edge of the sync/charge port on my 30gb iPod video is bent and I
can't hook it up to the charger any longer without damaging
something. Since otherwise the iPod is perfectly OK, but Apple won't
touch it, I wanted to replace the bent port. Does anyone know if I
need to replace the whole circuit board assembly or if it is a stand
alone part? It doesn't seem like a huge big deal, but any advice
anyone has would be gratefully accepted.

If you want to sell it check out this ad "sell your Ipod for cash"...

Check out http://sfbay.craigslist.org/search/ele?query=ipod%20broken for an
identical model with broken display. Or post your own ad for such. Buy for
parts and exchange the entire PCB that has the connector.

If I were you, I wouldn't want to un/solder that connector on the PCB...

Good luck,
