Did you by any chance ripped the USB port off of your axon? I was wondering how sturdy that thing is...

The connector was bad soldering (i think). I have a 3m extension USB cable and NEVER twist the connector... now i have to buy the pololu programmer  :P

wtf thats a new one! lol

Looks like it didn't solder on properly during manufacture, but held on well enough I didn't notice during quality checks.

Anyway, this is an easy repair. Set your soldering iron to max, and use tweezers to hold the USB connector in place. Push it down as the solder melts. Its a 5 minute job, really. Just make sure the 5 pins aren't shorted when you solder them back on.
