    Excellent! Also, I placed and received your supplies from you a week or two ago and everything is absolutely great! I had to install a bunch of tiny JST connectors last week, and after every clean install, I would here a voice in my head telling me that it was "Better then factory!" ....of course, I am the factory, but the sentiment remains.

    Awsome job, Alex! May i suggest you to make an universal flash drive test jig with a solid USB B (2.0/3.0) female connector with four/nine terminals. You can fasten the flash drive to the jig and connect wires from drive to the terminals. Then you have a rigged platform, you can connect and disconnect with ease and without being afraid of the fragile wires. Then you can give it to BigBoss to recover.

    It looks like there was enough through-hole left on either end to secure the port down to the board and then jump wires from there to the traces/groundplane. Did you do the recovery repair differently so that it is difficult for the customer to keep using the drive on purpose then? It sounds like the smarter thing to do if I think about it I guess.
