I’d like to replace the wired USB A cable with a USB-C port.
when I open it up, I see the cable is attached like this, with wire colors from the top: red white green black black:
When unclipped, I have this, the 5 pins being labeled “S GN D D VD”:
I find some tutorials about how to do a similar job with soldering. I don’t know how to solder and there is a clip. Can I purchase a USB-C port that will clip into this?
I can’t figure out the name of what this component would be called.
I see some mentioning about resistance and capacitors. I don’t know about these things. What if anything do I need to find out? I don’t know if the info in the soldering tutorials applies the same?
Obviously I am very novice on this topic. If I am missing anything please advise and I will attempt to fill it in.
