    Dell Latitude 5520 need replacement USB port

    Hello, I have this Dell laptop (it's not the E5520 model) and it has a broken USB port.
    Have searched on Ali and Google, but did not find a suitable replacement (some looks the same, but the soldering hinges are not 100% the same).

    Someone who recognizes these ports (replacing is not the problem) and where I can buy them (Ebay / Aliexpress / Mouser / Farnell etc.).

    if you have scrap board of any lenovo s145, V14 or 330-15IKB laying around you can use 3.0 port for the job.
    Flatten side grounding ends with a plier and cut off the rear ground ends as well, then solder port to board using flattened sides. I made it a few times and it turned out great.

    or

    You can use USB port from Thinkpad X260, Thinkpad X270, fits just right to Dell laptops (for reference if you want to buy online)

      I have some Lenovo scrap boards (only boards, no idea from what model of laptops) and Dell boards.
      Checked all the Lenovo and Dell boards, but they don't fit. The housing of the broken port itself is different (I have new ports for the Dell 5580 / 5590 boards, they have the same problem).

      The USB for the Thinkpad X260 / X270 has a bent on the front side of the port, unfortunately it will not fit in the housing of the laptop: link to those ports on Aliexpress.

      I did find some possible candidates on Aliexpress, but unfortunately they don't provide any measurements of those connectors.
      Found these:

      These are my measurements of the connector I'm searching for:

        I will update this topic. I have had contact with the seller of https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005138200625.html.
        They send me the technical drawings of the connector and they are for 98% the same.

        Received them this morning and placed one of those connectors and all the USB outputs are working again.
