So I've just finished programming up some boards and I'm cleaning up my leads and I think to myself "Gee I've only got one propclip, I'd better order another as I'd be stuffed if this one broke".. and literally as that thought crossed my mind the bloody thing fell to pieces in my fingers.
On closer investigation the solder joints holding the USB connector on were all as dry as a dead dingoes donger.. There was not even a trace of solder wetting on any of the tabs holding the USB connector to the board.
A quick rework with the solder-wick and some good old leaded solder and its as good as new.. but none the less, keep an eye on your connectors!

I thought your descriptive phrase was a just colorful prose until I actually Googled it.
I must be bored to do that, time to go play on the Prop!
