Broken S100, hope to repair myself?

[idum]

Hello all. My S100 have the usb connector that don't run very well: it is unfixed at the phone structure and it is not able to guarantee correct alimentation for recharging the battery.
It is matter for assistance center, indeed, but i have a very bad experience with Qtek Assistance in Italy, with 4 months of waiting and 100€ for a "in guarantee period" damage... Now that the 1-year is passed, i fear that the cost of reparation will be a bit expensive..
So, in your experience, what are the possibility for a not-so-skilled electronic engineer (me) to repair the phone myself?

Thanks for the insigh

Having the same problem. The usb connector is lose and not fastened to the mainboard. Probably to keep it from breaking when wiggeling the usb port when remowing and connecting tha usb cable. Instead there's some legs on the port pressing towards the mainboard. On mine these legs lost their strength and didn't spring against the connectors any more. I just bent them abit which helped for a month but now they are soft again and I'm going to have to do it again.

Anyone having a more permanent solution that's not soldering?

Maybe I just should bend them further and they might hold longer.

Having i similar problem with the backup battery and had to tape in place but it still loses connection sometimes.
