I always love seeing a video of people repairing these things which are often jut thrown away as they are considered not worth to fiddle with or being just too complicated for average person to try and repair.
Hi. Thanks for the tips! Mine was also bent, but no major damage to the electronics. I just took out the metal part, put it back securing the pins, then tightened the metal part by compressing it with a pair of pliers and it works without issues for now. Hope it helps someone.
DUDE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESTORING MY FAITH!!! Now I know all I need is better equipment! I'm used to discarding as soon as is doesn't work, but I like to tinker.....! Ps2 og and slim, here I come! (Again...)
19:24 LOL ;-) I like what you did though! At first it seemed like randomly poking around with a soldering iron, putting SMD components back in place and I was wondering if it would be worth the trouble. But you got it back to work and even fitted a new case. Nice job!
nice work dude! i want to ask something, how about transmitter inside the mouse, can we change with the trasmitter from the other mouse? cause i lost the dongle, so i thought we can replace the receiver and transmitter from the other mouse.
You're a GENIUS Please help me fixing my USB dongle, the case is just broken, so it's very loose that it doesn't contact well withe the USB port, please help
Hi, my dongle broke on the "tray" that is the plastic that the chip is placed on, and supports it against the usb socket. it is now only recognized when I am holding it against it. I couldn't find any 3D design for the tray so I can print and use it. any chance someone here can help?
Can I please khow how to assemble the metal housing back or can I solder any other usb cable's front part that goes into the usb port to the pcb so that I have to not use the metal housing.
I'm impressed your work and this video. My laptop fell with the dongle in it. Dongle side hit the ground. After that I had to put downward pressure on the dongle to make it work. I felt I lacked the practice and the equipment to do what you've done. But since mine wasn't severely damaged, I saw another video where you can remove the electronics and bake it in an oven. I tried 400 F for 8 minutes. The performance seems fine now. @the equalizer I'd be curious about your thoughts on this method. Thanks again for a great video.
Hi Patrick, yes this could make sense. Lead free solder is quite brittle so I suspect you just broke some connections when the dongle got damaged. By putting it in the oven you melted the solder back into place I guess. Either way, good on you :) saves it from landfill.
My laptop slipped off my sofa and impacted the floor right where the USB dongle protrudes, bending it at a 45 degree angle. I thought I would be able to simply find a replacement but after some research, found out that it is irreplaceable. So basically I have an $100 keyboard and mouse that is worthless because of a little dongle.
I use the one linked below because it was cheaper to buy this than convert my old Amscope from Bincoluar to Trinocular and buy the camera! I use the Amscope Stand though due to its superior stability. My only issue is that even with a reduction lens on the Camera port, its still not wide enough angle for my liking. The Eakins Scope head is identical to the Amscope in terms of Build Quality, Design and Optics (to my eyes anyway) etc, however the Amscope is considerably more expensive. www.aliexpress.com/item/32851330647.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4decXhb8
Thank you Peter.It was a long video to make but I was pretty stoked when the dongle worked. Made a good video though, illustrating Micro-Soldering, Hot Air rework and also 3D design and printing. I don't make many videos, so I like to make 'em count :-)
Dear you can help me,please tell me all resistance codes value mounted on donggle ,one value is missing how can i find,i hope it's in your hand,i see all your vedeo r13,r14 i think missing mine when it brocken
What could be if : my Microsoft wireless Mouse stopped functioning once I connected my external USB3.0 HDD. Note: my mouse laser is blinking yet my mouse dongle make a sound on plug-in & plug-out !! I used another wireless mouse of same model on same computer & it works. other wire Mouses are working too. What could be the problem & how to fix it ?
According to the post in the following forum, the Dongle and Keyboard/Mouse are paired at the factory. To my mind that means that even if you bought a second-hand one from eBay for instance, you wouldn't be able to get it to work. answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mobiledevices/forum/all/replacement-usb-dongle-for-wireless-desktop/9d888d20-f7be-4da4-a907-bd033cd3547e?page=2
Kushal Sha You’ll need to buy a new one, unless you’re good at microsoldering, in which case the video will give you a good overview of how to potentially fix this issue.
Yup, I have some iPad caps that I use for that sort of thing. I think they're 10uf or something like that. These caps are normally used for power rails and their value isn't critical as long as its in the ballpark ; its better to have something there than nothing.
@@viruzmeme Apparently they are paired to the keyboard/mouse that they're sold with, so unfortunately that's that. I use Logitech personally, and their unified receiver allows for pairing of any of the unified keyboards and mice to any receiver.
oh my this is amazing! May I know your rate/price for fixing such things? I desperately needs help on my mouse...and I tried all the tricks on TH-cam. Thank you!
Joseph Hobeck I think the usb portion was held in place partially by some metal clips on the usb socket. You’ll see what I mean if you look at the first few minutes of my video.
@@tanmay7021 You are really anxious to get to know that, aren't you? What exactly do you mean? Are you looking for the USB connector pinout? Just google "USB pinout" and 100s of answers righht on your screen, buddy!
@@anhoek3806 i want to connect this USB with my amplifier so i want to know to which pin i need to connect the power supply and ground wire, right in, left in
@@tanmay7021 I don’t have the dongle any more, so I couldn’t tell you. I mean it’s a standard pin out, so if you use your meter in low ohms mode you should be able to measure out the end ground pin and then work back from there for d+, d- and 5v

In fairness, a lot of my repairs are like that. And 9 times out of 10 that totally works :)
I have the Same Exact Problem, my son Broke clean off I was looking to get a USB cable and solder it with a small cable :(
this is like unintentional asmr

Me too... Other productors have replaceable dongles though, I guess it's just Microsoft being lazy

How did you get the plastic cap off? That part is missing from the video. I have the same dongle. Do I need to cut on the seam or try to plop it open?

If you have a look at my video, you’ll set that I bend some metal tabs up on the usb connector to release the housing.
I Like the Video and your work Man...Very Good
