    Greetings. I am in need of a solder on a broken memory (USB) stick. I am in Lincoln Park, and can travel in the city to someone to help fix this. I could trade Beer, a gift card, good will or $$ for this assistance.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Lincoln Park NJ or IL?
    Or other?

    I'm near Lincoln Park NJ...

    I assume there is important data on this USB drive?

    Take it down to any electronics/computer repair place (or university electronics faculty, for that matter) and they'll be able to do it no probs.

    What part of it has broken? If it's just the plug socket thing then you should be able to do it yourself because it's quite a long way away from the controler chips and important stuff. If it's something one of the surface mounts thats gone and you have important documents on it then I would get it fixed profesionally
