Yeah, unfortunately I don't think that's the case. It has been dropped, tugged on, etc, so I'm pretty sure the solder joints are weak. I can feel the connector is loose as well.

If I get desperate, I'll pick up a heat gun, some flux, maybe a better soldering iron (I have some cheap Chinese crap) and try it out. But I'm more likely to break it than fix it. I'll try it once I'm ready to replace it anyway.
