Micro USB port replacement - Verizon Ellipsis 7

[Armadillo]

  Well done;
If you do regular smd works, get yourself a loupe or if you can, a "Stereo" microscope, and be amazed with what you didn't see before. Don't waste your money on any digital ones though. But if one off repair, a cheap Chinese loupe will do.

I could remove the daughter board and cut the larger through hole legs with a dremel. 

I don't think PCB will survive without a damage.

This is very definitely a one-off operation for me.  Most of what I solder is RC or motorcycle related.  If I can't find a way to replace that mini-USB connector, or if I disable tablet, it will make more sense to just buy a new tablet rather than acquire equipment that I would use very infrequently.
