W520 usb 3.0 sockets replace.

#1 Post by Masi_K » Fri Nov 08, 2024 12:18 pm

Hello. After years and years of usb socket usage. Sockets are now so loose that they make bad or unreliable connection. I allready replaced the rear usb 2.0 socket and that is fine now. But I have not found correct socket for the 3.0. Have anyone replaced one ?

This is the correct one. But it is PAIN in you know where to replace. I used countless hours to replace it. Eventually I did managed to do it but in meantime I broke the mobo. So be careful. I had fully working usb 2.0, partially working usb 3.0. Now I have only 2.0.
