The usb connection in my PM3 has broken from the mount on the circuit board. Are there any known repairs for this problem to avoid buying a new PM3? Solder? Glue? Thanks!
Cheers,

Re: Broken PM3 USB Connector
If you're handy with a thin tipped soldering iron you should be able to reconnect the USB-B socket to the PM3 circuit board.

Yes it needs resoldering to the board.
If your lucky it didn't rip all the tracks off the back of it, in which case it is harder to repair but possible with the earlier model of PM3/4.
Quite difficult to get a soldering iron in the gap, I use hot air under and above and reflow solder it without an iron on the side tabs.
