Repair of USB connectors of a macbook laptop - manoj121 - 02-11-2021
A USB connector is an interface for connecting additional peripheral equipment to a computer, allowing you to expand its capabilities. It is even more offensive when the laptop's USB ports do
not work. The causes of the malfunction can be of two types:
- mechanical damage from physical wear, fall, shock, the use of a deformed USB plug;
- contact oxidation and short circuit.
The failure of the USB port is manifested in the absence of communication between the laptop and the connected peripheral device periodically or continuously.
If the USB connector burns out due to a short circuit, damage can affect more complex devices - the southbridge, video card, and the motherboard power supply. The cost of repairing & replace the USB ports & USB C types of a laptop depends on the cause of the malfunction detected by testing using special diagnostic equipment.
