so my USB port had one pin bent and trying to unbend it has snapped it

so i stripped it down to this level and can easily swap a new female USB port in its place, but does anyone know where to source this i have googled the molex number with no avail, just thought it would save my buying a whole new clip in unit from Land Rover

or any other suggestions welcomed

rs components sell Molex brand items and lots of other bits so might be worth a try

flat mount as opposed to edge bu maybe it can be fudged = you can do wonders with a soldering iron and a paper clip


or...thinking out the box, get any old USB type A cable and strip off the socket at the end and see if that can be soldered on.

Hi,
I had a moment to drop Molex and email, this is their rsponse.

Thank you for the image.
That would appear to be a USB A upright type.

I believe it may be part number 482040001.
https://www.molex.com/molex/products/datas...ECTORS.xml

The Molex 13195 would be the Logo + Date code.

If you would like some samples of the part to check, we do have stock currently. If you use the link above. And on the right side of the page, select request samples.
Go through the process and it will be with you with a lead time of 3-4 days.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hope this helps

Legend I could kiss you!

I'll get some and let you all know how it goes.

If any other l405 suffers in future I can pop one in the post to them

I love this about this place. I've been a member of numerous caravan related forums and not one of them was free of the troll type ar le that just wanted to ruin everyone's fun. Never come across anything like that on here or the D3/4 forums. I love the fact that everyone is up for helping their fellow LR enthusiast/Masochist. Nice one.

Hope you got it sorted and plus one on the friendlyness of this site, many people helped me out many times, so its good to help in return.
