On my Revolution board the micro usb port does not allow a good connection. When I attempt to calibrate, the USB connection becomes intermittent preventing calibration. I've been researching replacing the USB port but it appears that there are different types on eBay.
Question: What is the type that should be used to repair the port?
Thank you in advance.

This looks like the style that would work. See if it looks like the one on your FC.

Instead, you might try some different USB cables to see if another one works better.
I had one pop off and replaced it. I think that one I tinned both sides and used kapton tape and a hot air reflow gun while pressing the connector in place with a piece of stiff wire.

Thanks Cliff. I've gone ahead and ordered them.
I've also managed to break the Oplink connector and have ordered an MMCX connector for the antenna on the flight controller.
Crashing this poor quad isn't enough. I guess I am ham-handed when handling it.
Again, thanks.
