Broken USB stick, HELP!

ruskin · 2007-08-18 14:05:27

I recently snapped the front metal connection from my usb stick. I opened the casing from the USB stick and was told by a friend that by simply getting a USB extension lead, cutting it half way and exposing the four wires, these wires can be soldered on to the USB chip and that this will fix it. Anyone here ever try that…
