I'm so angry tonight, it's absurd. A few years ago I dropped a MIDI controller and it landed on its USB connector, punching it in and shearing the pins off it.
I figured I'd get a new connector eventually. That day finally came, but now I can't clean out the holes in the board. None of the usual tricks are working, and I've already yanked the plating out of *at least* one through-hole.
Finally gave up when I noticed the solder blocking the last hole wouldn't even fully melt. #ElectronicsRepair
