As with many other users I have a Packtalk Bold out of warranty with a bad USB connector. It works if the cable is held pressed up or down. Many have had solder failures but not this one, I need a new connector but studying images and footprints at Mouser and DigiKey has failed to ID a likely candidate.
Is this a good question?

Meh. My question is, “what is the part number of the usb socket?” The YouTube video and poster refuses to share his secret.

The UK company that made the YouTube video (enquiries@ubermicro.co.uk) did offer to sell me one for for £5 plus postage in email.
Didn't take them up on it because I don't have the microsolder tools, but might be worth it if you can't find them elsewhere?
you can find the correct USB connector here....warning...its a bit tricky without the right equipment. I have successfully fixed two so far with USB replacements. If the trace has pulled away from the board....you may need to fix that also. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NQB...

The YouTube link shows someone doing it, not someone willing to share the P/N.
