Anyone know where to get a replacement on onboard USB port unit found on a PS3 Slim CECH-3003A?
These two have been destroyed by kids and one is totally missing the internal “blade”. Trawling the web hasn’t found me a supplier anywhere except for a questionable 2nd hand one in the USA on Ebay. Anyone maybe tried replacing them with some standard USB sockets? I’m based in the UK so something in europe would be better. Any pointers appreciated!
I just replaced the connector with a set of standard PCB USB A female ports. The only hitch was that I bent two side posts over, soldered them together ad anchored them to the middle post hole for strength. Works great, it even lines up with the existing holes.
Just solder a USB extension cable on
