So after (far too) many airplane trips, I’ve broken the USB power jack on my Creta. I’ll open it up once I get home, but I’m assuming the port itself has become unsoldered from the board.
What I was thinking about was cutting a USB “B” cable and wiring the jack that way (i.e, just have a few inches of USB cable sticking out the hole/case and plug that into my travel battery).
Question, is the Creta a USB-power-only device? IOW, it’s not OTG or anything, right? I only need to solder the two power wires on in order for it to power up?
(Even though I’ve got a USB-300, two Slates and an AR-300M I could replace it with when flying I’m loath to just junk this one, the GL-iNet devs signed it (in Chinese) when they came to Silicon Valley a few years back so it’s kinda special )
