Dremel + diamond disc + very gentle force applied will do.
Good idea! but the standard abrasive cut off discs will cut the leads much better than diamond plated discs.
Did a repair on a Samsung tab3, looked like a 3 year old had tried to insert something pointy into the micro USB, result?
Mashed connector
I had two issues:
looks like the Tab 3 uses a non standard usb connector (found on ebay) and the old connector was a mongrel to remove.
Tried chip quick , did not budge surprising given I use a lot of chip quick and have used it successfully on removing connectors, ICs etc. Used hot air and it still did not move, got the board really hot and was beginning to melt the captan tape that was used to mask some small SMT caps.
never had this before as the board was very thin so there can't have been much thermal mass to the small board. Did not want wreck the board so....
In the end I used a Dremmel, I was really careful and just ended up cutting the connector to bits and removing by piece meal. Got the new connnector soldered on ok and the tab3 is working again
The problem was the the connector casing was soldered to the ground plane in three places, two sides and the Middle not to mention the fine connections for the socket as it was dead easy to rip the pads on that thing. Dip SMT ICs are far easier to shift.
