Wasnt 100% sure where to post this so if mods feel its in the wrong place feel free to relocate it 
.
So came home a day or two ago and was greeted by my nephew (2 next month) - can I get an awwww
, abit later I noticed he was trying to play with a usb dongle I had connected to the front my pc in the living room (its an RF dongle that came with my keysonic keyboard/trackerpad combo that I use all the time when watching movies/on the forums and am feeling too lazy to sit at a desk lol), anyways I took the dongle out and realised the little git had broken the usb connector from the board 
sad times lol, anyways I decided today to try and fix it like I attempted last time (didnt work last time and just bought a new k/b with dongle) but I was more prepared this time - Do not rush being the key part.
I cracked out my (really cheaply bought soldering iron from...well cant say lol) and unsoldered the broken *feet* from the usb port (this being rather bloody tricky...as in really bloody tricky), then once I had this done I inserted a usb connector I bought (from same place as soldering iron, in about a multiple lol of 10) and tried it in my pc - pressing any button on my K/B would light up the led light on the usb dongle - looks promising so I decided it was worth the time to solder the usb connector in place - far easier than trying to unsolder and remove the broken pins may I add - and miraculously it works! - no in progress pictures as I wasnt really expecting anything to work - totally messed it up last time, did take 1 after it worked - if you really want to see some bad soldering lol. That is all really whup whup, not everyday you get to do some diy-fixer-upper (well dont know about you but I know I dont lol)
Thanks for reading this far and hope you enjoyed - feel free to reply of any diy jobs of your own (that most likely will involve a lot more skill that myself 
lol)
