Problem: different manufacturers arrange the pins slightly differently, and some of those are on the underside of the port, inaccessible to a standard soldering iron. I'd need to buy and learn new tools just to desolder the original port and find a matching one on DigiKey.

But man, @ifixit.com and @shahrammokhtari.bsky.social in particular just make me want to learn and do more on my own. Bless.
