Repaired customers Yoga 3 that had NO working USB ports whatsoever in less than an hour - after cleaning & replacing (no parts needed)
All USB ports were fully functional once again...
Great job & thank you for the help :)
This guide helped me quite a bit today. I really appreciate you providing it.
Can you please help with information on where to get the DC input USB port part. My USB port is broken and unable to find it
None of the 3 USB ports were powering on.
Windows seemed happy and no drivers and bios update helped …
I took apart following this guide, cleaned all ports and PCBs with IPA and a toothbrush and now it’s all working again!
Thank you
