I plug off usb cable from bladerf board and with cable I remove female connector
I knew about the problems with connector and always tried to handle it delicately.
Anyone have success story with USB3 female replacement? I think nuand should be used more robust USB3 female connector like USB3 type B.

Re: USB3 broken
Hi OnlySlon,
I'm sorry to hear about this. I know some people have done some rework to re-attach connectors that have lifted slightly or came off without damaging pads. However, I don't think this is possible in your situation, given that all of the pads appear to have been torn off.
For what it's worth, the revision of the bladeRF board that is currently shipping does have the a through-hole mounted type B connector. I know this isn't necessarily useful information to you now, but figured others might want to know. The pictures on the website are scheduled to be updated to reflect this, when folks get a chance to update it.
