Alesis V49 - Broken USB Port

Synth Repair
1

Hello,

If anyone is reading this, I hope you’re doing well. I’m wondering if anyone has advice for a little Alesis V49 repair.

I transported my midi keyboard with the USB cord plugged in, and the port broke (I know, classic). I tried soldering on a new USB port, but failed and broke my jackboard (shown in image–too embarrassed by my soldering skills to show the other side).

I’m wondering if anyone knows where I could possibly get one of these jackboards / has any advice for a kid who wants to fix his midi keyboard.

Thank you!!

SOLVED! This USB cord (Amazon link below), which was kind of a long shot, happened to work! If anyone has the same issue.

I just ditched the entire jackboard and plugged the new USB cord into the main circuit board. Worked like a charm.
