Using this guide will help you repair the microUSB port in your Archos 101 G9 tablet.
A micro USB port is a miniaturized version of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface developed for connecting compact and mobile devices such as smartphones, MP3 players, GPS devices, photo printers, and digital cameras. Micro USB connectors exist or have existed in three forms: micro A, micro B, and micro C. When you get to Step 4 of the guide, it is okay to remove the ribbon cable, but it will make your life easier if you try not to remove the ribbon cable that is attached to the plastic piece.
