Hello! Good day. I was working on setting up my rig into a new case today. While handling the USB 3 cable, I noticed one pin was bent flat. This might explain why one of the USB ports didn’t work on my case. I tried straightening it carefully, but it broke right away. After some investigation, it looks like an INTA_P2_D+ pin. Do you have any idea if there’s a way to fix this or salvage the situation? My motherboard is a Gigabyte G1 Guerrilla, which is great to have USB 3 already. Thanks in advance for your help!

Using a cable often makes it simpler to swap out the connection.

The specific location on the motherboard. The connection point was completely removed.

Ugh. It could be microsoldering or swapping the motherboard.

soldering would not be the hardest i think. if there is no other way.. i just need to find info about what color the wire is. ect is this pin a usb 3 or usb 2 pin? i have seen usb 3 to usb 2 adapters before. so if its a usb 3 related pin it would just run as a usb 2 port then. right? (even then. this might even be the usb c port which wil never be used to begin with)
