Knowledge and time to solder is not an issue...

I use cheap hot air station (858D) for this job... MicroUSB is not easy to solder with normal iron.

if your really mad broke and desperate what they used to do is get a chunk of iron, file it to the right shape and heat it with fire (you can even heat the back of the iron with a torch or even candle to regulate the tip temperature).

Probably we have all done that at one time or another but copper works much better because tin solder will not wet iron but will wet copper or brass.

iron wets its what they use for plating.
not sure if the old thing I have is iron plated or just copper thats real dirty or pure iron (i have yet to use it, it was supposed to be for like heavy duty soldering thats less oxidized then gas, i think i got it from a garage sale)
