My micro-usb was ripped from pcb with copper traces; I glued it back, scratched some solder mask to reveal copper traces, fluxed them and dragged solder from usb pins to traces. It’s so small I can’t really see which contacts are good, but… It does charge (for) now
Probably. Mine has a foam-padded nfc on that cavity, though I could fit a battery below the nfc board. Would have tried but don’t have extra battery handy.
My ripped micro-usb fix is so unstable that it might break any time anyway, so one battery will do
