Let's Fix: Sony MZ-NF610 Minidisk with Broken USB

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!!! It's time for yet another minidisk repair video (and it's not even December so I guess these are getting more frequent which is perfectly fine by me)! A viewer sent this MZ-NF610 in for repair, apparently he purchased a new mini usb cable and the first time he tried to plug it into his minidisc recorder it broke the connector! Seeing how good of a condition this specimen is in otherwise I can tell it has sentimental value and it's been taken really good care of. So let's see if we can fix the usb port for him and get this little guy recording again in this video! Like with most repairs though this one ends up taking me through more of a journey than I expected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I've posted a link for Ebay purchase referrals.
