LaCie 160 connection

My LaCie 160's USB connection stopped working. When I plug it into my P.C., it will read the harddrive through the 1394 cable, but I get no response through the USB. I've tried different cables and different computers to the same results.

The USB connector's solder work is cracked on it's control board. Any decent tech can clean that up but unless it's free a new USB housing is the cheap fix.
