Mind reposting any photos here for reference?

[whole sphinx]

To re-solder them would I just need to heat up the metal pins till they melt or is it more involved than that

[dire tundra]

... huh. Wow.

It's like it desolded itself somehow, that's... Wow.

[whole sphinx]

It’s definitely something

And I use an SD card reader extender that plugs Into that port and goes to the outside of the printer so it’s not even moving

[whole sphinx]

Does it have to be soldered to work? Or can I just hit those pins with a bit of hot glue on the back?

[dire tundra]

Soldered.

I would think that it probably wasn’t soldered properly from factory.

Likely was barely making contact before and happened to break off. Otherwise the pads would at least have signs of… well, having previously been soldered to something. Those just look reflowed without any attached components

I’d honestly email them and ask for a replacement with a photo of it

Because that is almost for sure factory error.

[whole sphinx]

Thanks for the suggestion I’ll get on that

[dire tundra]

Like I don’t believe for a second that’s user error
