Great guide, I was able to remove the Micro USB Charge Port and Cable from the arlo PRO 2 (Model: VMC4030P) without having to remove the System Board. However finding a replacement part is the tricky part. I stumbled across this guide after removing the cable hoping an iFixIt guide might have a link to a part source.
Where can I buy the white wires?
