USB dead after opening case...

[ions]

So, I opened my case to see if I had a clone or original like the video showed me, ever so gingerly and when I put the case back together my USB port will not work The external H/D lights up but will not read or even show up. I have since upgraded to the Finless 1.7 ROM and it still doesn't show up. I've tried 3 different H/Ds and a 8gb pen drive with no luck and have also tried 3 different USB cables with no luck. The port worked fine before opening the case.

How do you think this happened? I didn't cut any wires or pull anything out of place.

I tried hooking my H/D to the other port and it worked fine but that is also the port I use for my wireless mouse receiver.

Tried 4 different USB apps also with no luck.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks.

Pop open the case again and take a close look at the contacts between the USB connector and the circuit board. You may have to carefully re-solder a broken contact.

Whoops.

Thanks.

After opening the case again I did notice I might of scraped some metal off while using my knife to get the case open I ended up removing and re-soldering the USB and contacts and all is well again
