Hi, although I seem to have misplaced one of them, I have two of these USBFF20's, that have the same issue, where the mini-USB connectors have both broken on the inside, and the hard drives themselves are actually unharmed. the connector looks like a mini IDE, smaller than SATA. Can you guys solder, VERY CAREFULLY, new mini-USB connectors without melting the whole contraption, or damaging the integrity of the data? If not, I guess i'll just have to to toss the darned thing out, thanks
