In this video I repair a broken USB port in a Blue Snowball iCE microphone. I make a point to use the most basic soldering tools so that the repair has broad appeal with a beginner audience that are just starting out. Although I repair a broken USB port, the tools and techniques I demonstrate are applicable to repairing broken ports and other beginner projects in general.

My philosophy on buying tools is to start small and to “outgrow“ your gear over time. Expensive gear won’t improve your repair and fault finding skills, only practice will do that. With that in mind below is what’s in my current toolkit.
