Hi,
on my PPA V1 both USB3 ports broke within two weeks. The blue plastic piece that covers the pins inside the socket just came out together with the plug. I managed to pull it off the plug and started to use the second port but today my camera did not connect anymore and I saw the same happened to the second port.
I opened the box to see if I could may be replace the USB3 socket but there are too many pretty small solder points. Or do you suggest I should just try it - given I find those sockets somewhere online.
I bought the box 4 years ago and had no issues so far, so I'm actually considering to buy the newer version now - hoping for more reliable USB3 ports of course...
