can you do this preventive fix on a device that has no problems at the current time?

i tried to msg you privately but the board wouldn't allow me to

thnx
Epoxy is the best way to preventing it from breaking too easily. It will still break if you yank it out. BUt if you take good care of it then it won't break. I broke mine twice. Repaired and broke again. Enough is enough so I repaired it myself and saved me $120 service fee.

I soldering my broken USB back to the motherboard using a 0.5mm soldering iron head. Got it back onto the board and welded it on securely on the pin + epoxy glued the microUSB onto the board and the surrounding area to extend the movement protection. So far still solid.
