Changing micro usb charging port or whole PCB?

It's a USB micro B, and you can find them on ebay or any electronic supply site or store.

How hard is it to change out the USB Port on the asus transformer book t100?

Here is the ebay link where you can get the port. Obviously, you need to be very careful taking this thing apart. But it is possible to replace only this port. It looks like quite a challenge to change the whole motherboard. There is a separate 5 or 6 pin connector for the battery that has very fragile solder joints. So use very little force if you're going to inspect those. I would recommend looking at them with a magnifyer rather than applying any amount of force. Also, when you replace the charging port, there are holes in the board for the physical mounts, but not ""through hole"" contacts. The contacts on the bottom of the port just sit on top of pads, so you need to make sure you have good contact with them. I suppose it's possible to solder them with the right equipment, but I could not. I hope this helps.

Had a similar situation myself. I opted to replace the port, & exact replicas are 5 for a couple $ on ebay. Since I don’t have a micro-soldering station (& I use the port only for charging), I broke off the pins used for data on the backside, then very carefully resoldered the port and 2 power pins back in their original position. Then just to add a bit of strength to it I put the board back in its casing, & added some hot glue over it. That was probably a bit overkill, but it was only my 2nd attempt to work on a Transformer MB. Note* Be extremely careful when attempting to remove the board from the casing. The flat orange cable (Main LCD connector?) has some very finicky little pins which will make all efforts to repair null & void if bent. All connections inside should removed with as little force as possible, & preferably done under some magnification.

Hi I am in the same situation. It costs more to get it repaired than to get a second hand one. Is it possible to just glue it down so the connections are touching? I don’t have a micro USB soldering kit and i doubt my chances of fixing it with a classic solder.
