Hey guys, just the other day my PODxt's USB port died. It feels like the cable is loose when its plugged into the jack, so I took the back off to have a gander. Its hard to see much of anything but I suspect that the USB plug needs to be replaced. So I seek advice:

Is this something I can do myself? I'm half decent at soldering and have all the supplies necessary. Should I take it to someone else? The nearest Line6 repair center is over 80 miles away and runs bank hours (and is not open at all on weekends - so its pretty much out of the question, besides the fact that they charge $65(!!!!) just to diagnose the problem). Is there perhaps another reputable place to take it to get looked at? I don't think any of the music stores around here (which for the most part suck) would be able to do anything with it. If it is something I can do myself, what else would I need besides obviously solder, a soldering iron, and a replacement USB plug? Radio shack should have those I assume.

Thanks for all your help.
