Introduction
Use this guide to replace the USB charging port in the Garmin Edge 530 (identified by part number 010-02060-00).
The USB charging port is standard for short-distance digital data communications and supplying electric power across a cable to the devices that need it. The USB port allows the Garmin Edge 530 to be charged, as well as connect to a computer to transfer riding data. The USB charging port may need to be replaced if the Garmin Edge 530 is having problems with connecting to the USB cable or is not charging.
In this guide, you will have to pry up the glass panel with a metal spudger. It is important to note the potential broken glass hazard when prying the screen from the back cover. After this step, use ESD-safe tools to avoid damage to the rest of the device and protect it from electrostatic discharge.
You will have to remove the battery before the charging port component. A punctured battery can cause a fire. If the battery is swollen, it should be handled properly.
Before beginning, power down the device and disconnect from any external power sources.

Thanks - but there is no link for the actual charge port. Does this require soldering in? - a scan of eBay only shows a part to be soldered, can anyone recommend the best part to buy - ideally no soldering?
