oops prop plug troubles

Hey y'all
Was starting to mess around again with the prop, after a few years hiatus.
And the USB part of the prop plug fell off in my hand!
Ahh here's the reason it can't find the propeller on com5 :)
I ordered another, but do you think its worthwhile to try to heat it up and solder it back together or should I toss it?
If so, by solder iron or on a hot plate?
Just don't know if the old solder will be any good. Its probably one of the first ones made.

    You aren't going to make things worse... do it.. It'll probably be tough to reach some of the connections via soldering pencil, hotplate may bring it back to life..

    yup, works again.
    thanks for the encouragement jeff.
    havent been playing with electronics since the first days of the prop.
    i made a cnc to route boards, and went off on that tangent :)
    now i have a 4x8 cnc and the wife wanted a cat feeder ......
